A truncated form of congratulations as stated; however it is a hollow form. There is little emotion, you don't care you are envious or it doesn't matter. You join the bandwagon of everyone else saying it.

The word is often used as just "grats" by itself. When it is used in this form is is surely a carefree statement.

Short form of congratulations for people who don't want to applaud you any more than they have to (or who aren't confident they can spell congratulations)

Envious colleague: Grats!

grats on your blue 

A phrase used in the early days of World of Warcraft. "Blue"-rarity ("rare") items aren't as good as purple-rarity ("epic") ones, therefore getting excited about getting a blue item is usually mocked, as it isn't purple.

The phrase is used sarcastically whenever someone gets excited about an easy-to-complete event, an item that isn't that great or hard to obtain, or doing something not that impressive.
Noob in guildchat: "I just beat Wailing Caverns and got my sweet Armor of the Fang!"
Veteran WoW player: "...grats on your blue."

Newbie: "Hurray, I got my mount!"
l33t raider: "grats on your blue, noob."

Grats on Bad 

Congratulations on being terrible.
Way to lose that.
That's pathetic!

Derived from a bunch of people on Mug'thol in World of Warcraft.
