diff

Short for difference. Jungle diff means one team's player in that role was much better. Now used for any big gap, like parent diff or outfit diff.

We lost because of a goalie diff, not our fault.

For parents and educators

Mild banter. It is often used to shift blame onto one person, which can sting if a kid is always the one blamed.

Where it came from

League of Legends chat, where losing teams blame one role. Now common in sports and everyday trash talk.

Also heard as

jungle diff, jg diff, gap, jungle gap, coach diff
