Scanlator 

A scanlator is a person who performs scanlations, which are the unauthorized scanning + translation of a source work, usually a Japanese manga of some sort, into English for dissemination by e-mail or blog.

For more information, see scanlation.

"Who's the translator on this graphic novel? Or should I say 'scanlator'."

"Scanlator is the word, the person is called "Kuzzy" but there's no full name, e-mail or blog address. They prefer to keep it that way because what they're doing breaks international copyright laws, even in cases of works that have been sitting untranslated into English for years."

scanlation

An unauthorized copy of a Japanese manga to be found on the internet. Name comes as the images from the manga are scanned on to the computer and its words translated into English, giving the final, most readable copy for viewership (in comparison to a raw, which is the original scan of the manga). Is useful for several things, mostly giving readers access to manga that they can't find or they want to see the next chapter of, or just giving free and complete access to a manga.
Person1: Gahhhhh, that new chapter of Bleach won't be in America for months, but it is already in Japan.
Person2: Just find a scanlation online, those appear regularly.
Person1: Really??? MUST. READ. NOW.

Scavulator 

Pronunciation: skav-yuh-ley-tor

A slang term originating from the intense, post-apocalyptic gaming world of Escape from Tarkov. A "Scavulator" is a player who has successfully eliminated a scavenger (or "scav") in the game, and they utter this word to proudly announce their kill or to celebrate a victorious encounter.

In the cutthroat world of Escape from Tarkov, a Scavulator is a badge of honor, symbolizing a player's skill and tenacity in navigating the hazardous terrain and defeating AI-controlled scavengers, or even other players taking on the role of scavs. It's often used with a sense of triumph and camaraderie among fellow players.
"you wanna go scav real quick?" "naw, scav u later!"
*kills scav* "Scav u later"

"Dude, I just took out a scav with a headshot in the dorms. Im a true Scavulator!"
"Scavulator, baby! One less scav to worry about in Customs."
"After hours of looting, I became the ultimate Scavulator, eliminating every scav in sight."
