After a match, a player types "ez" in the chat. It means easy. It is a taunt. It says the game was not a challenge. It is often used by the winner. It is rarely used by the loser. The word is short, sharp, and designed to annoy. It is the verbal equivalent of a shrug after a win.

EZ is common in competitive games. It is considered bad manners. Some games ban it. Some players mute chat to avoid it. It is also used ironically. If a game was extremely close, typing "ez" is a joke. The closer the game, the funnier the "ez." It is a form of trash talk.

EZ is not for real life. Do not say "ez" after a work presentation. Do not say it after a job interview. It is for games, where the stakes are low and the egos are high. In that context, it is a small, harmless jab. In other contexts, it is just rude.
