Flyboy (Airforce) term for forcing a new or potentially new recruit to perform strenuous, humiliating, or dangerous tasks. The word originated in the 1980's when an Air Force wife apparently misspelled the word "grief" in a letter to her congressman. The letter was made public and numerous school teachers made it a point to publicly harass the struggling wife about the spelling.

In an ongoing response and defense of the Air Force wife in question, Airmen and their wives around the globe have taken to using the term and are hopeful to see it added as a new word in Websters before 2015.

Verb (used with object)
To subject to abusive or humiliating tricks and ridicule.

Noun
Subjection to degradation, harassment or ridicule. Trouble of difficulty.
The NCO's always give the new Airmen greife.

Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them.

Examples of griefing:

1. Player vs player abuse: Singling out the same person and killing them over and over when they are defensless until hey log off.

2. Kill stealing: Repeatedly trying to steal another persons kills so that their time is wasted.

3. Verbal abuse: Spamming a person with vulgar, hatefull, or offensive messages.

4. Blocking: Getting in anothers way so they cannot move or get out of a particular area.

5. "Training": Triggering many monsters, almost always impossible to fight and survive, with the intention to either run someone out of an area or kill them indirectly if the server is not 'player vs player' enabled.

Griefing in massively multiplayer online role playing games are usually bannable on first offense and less common (thoguh still visably present).

Griefing is much more common on private servers for first person shooters like Counterstrike and Battlefield 1942.
Griefers and Powergamers are the 2 worst problems in online games today.
