There are many codes and abbreviations in Webcam Land. Below, you will find a helpful key to help you navigate this strange territory. I've also added a list of many things that I've heard from potential clients over the years, and the (not so secret) meaning behind these statements. Enjoy!
BB- This is a notorious one. If you've worked as a cam girl for more than 20 minutes, you've no doubt been called "bb." Hey guys, if you're reading this, a helpful tip- I'VE NEVER EVER MET A CAM GIRL THAT IS OKAY WITH BEING CALLED BB. For those of you who don't have the pleasure of living in Webcam Land, "bb" is short for "baby." It's what lazy mother fuckers who can't be bothered to type out an entire word call cam girls.
Pvt- Short for "private," meaning a private show. Often times, guys will write something like "bb you do pvts?" Depending on the format of the site that you work on and whether or not you also do shows on Skype, this may mean a variety of things. Basically, the guy wants to remove you from the cam room and get a one on one show. More often than not, it also means he just wants to waste your time and negotiate your rates. It may also mean that he doesn't want to pay the extra rate for tokens, and wants to pay you in paypal, or 'pp." That's next.
PP- Paypal. Also notorious in Webcam Land. Ok before explaining paypal, I should start by explaining "tokens," and the way in which cam girls get tipped. Typically, guys buy a package from a cam site, and the site really fucks these guys in the ass. For example, a guy will pay $90 for a package of 900 tokens, but to a cam girl, those 900 tokens are only worth $45. Obviously the site needs and deserves a portion of earnings, since they're providing the traffic for us. But it's usually around 50 percent, and that's a BIG cut. One thing that I'm often asked is "don't you get ripped off? The site takes so much of your money!" but the answer is- no. I don't get ripped off, the guys do. It's sort of like the principal of inflation, girls will charge for the amount that they get for the tokens. For example, if I set a goal of "topless at $50," then that goal is going to reflect what $50 means for me, not what the guy spent. So the guy swallows the costs up front, and that's just how it is. Sucks for the guys, not so much for the girls. Understandably, many guys don't want to shell out that much money, only to have 50 percent of it be of any use. Enter Paypal. Guys LOVE using Paypal to purchase private shows and videos because the girl gets every cent, and it saves the guy money. It's a fast and easy way to transfer and receive money, so most cam girls like it too. The problem with this is that Paypal is fucking puritanical and the use of it for adult transactions is against their terms of service. It's not hard to get around this, but ladies, be careful. You don't want to get your money frozen.
C2C- Cam to cam. This means that the guy will view your cam and you will view his. Lucky you.
Open bobs- A strange way of saying "show me your breasts." Essentially, it's "open boobs," but guys are either idiots and can't spell, or they're all using google translator. I see this phrase time and time again, so I assume that it's a google translator issue.
You do K9?- The sick pervert is asking if you fuck dogs on camera. Instant BAN from room.
Amazon??- The guy is asking if you accept Amazon gift cards as payment. Again, it's for the same reason as why guys like to use Paypal, but thankfully Amazon doesn't hate whores. I often accept Amazon cards from regulars, and use them to buy household things, groceries, etc.
One thing that's annoying about many cam clients is that they have the bad habit of writing one word sentences. I guess it's laziness, or perhaps the other hand is busy. It's like these dudes can't write a complete fucking sentence to save their lives. "Anal?" Geez, can't they take the time to write out "do you do anal in your show?" A little bit goes a long way.
Ok, so that's a brief key to cam-girl-speak. Hopefully you can learn the language before you visit Webcam Land.
Now here are some common things that guy will say to a cam girl, watch out for these:
"Baby, flash first and then I'll tip. Show asshole first and then I give a tip."
My response? Fuck off.
"Baby I need to see you naked before I decide to pay. Need to see if it's worth it."
My response? You're a cheap mother fucker. Go away.
PAY TO PLAY, FOOLS! (I only flash and show AFTER getting tipped. Every cam girl has to do what's comfortable for HER, so I'm not insinuating that my way is the only way. This just happens to be the way that I run my business. No judgment for girls who do it differently. There's lots of room for variation in Webcam Land!)
After telling a guy my rate (I charge per minute for Skype shows), many will try to negotiate. I always remind guys that I don't negotiate. Just don't do it guys, it's insulting.
A personal favorite of mine-
"Baby I bought 15 minutes and came in 6. Can I use the other 9 minutes for another show?"
My lovely response- I'm sorry, no you cannot. I don't offer a roll-over minute plan. You may want to try Verizon next time.
"Baby call me on Skype, just so I can see your cam quality. Quick flash?"
My response- NO NO NO. TIME WASTER ALERT!
Learn how to weed out the time-waters quickly and you will increase your profits.
"Baby I like you so much. You're so beautiful. Can't we just talk for free? I want to get to know you."
My response- none. This is an instant BAN.
"Baby you're too smart and pretty to do this kind of work."
My response- Yeah? Are you offering to pay all of my bills for me? Then, BAN! Idiots.
That's all for today, friends. As always, wishing you safe travels in Webcam Land!
