Lag

This is a term that means delay. Lag results from high ping or latency. This means that if your playing a video game online - what you're seeing and doing - is taking an unusually long time to reach you. As a result, what you see in a game may have already happened seconds before you see it. This means if you were playing an online game it would enable players with low pings to attack you or grab items before you even know what's going on.
