Well, you will see stuff like oom. If you're new, this can be misunderstood and then, make you fail for a gank, or even more, make you die.

So there's these terms. Hope it will help out

Basic Terms :

Farm: Farming up gold. Refers to the act of systematically killing creeps in order to earn gold. Even when you are virtually killing creeps all game long, you say that someone is “farming” when they are completely dedicated and concentrated on that.

Focus: Means to concentrate all attacks on a specific target (I.E “Focus Lina” means that Lina should be the primary objective and that all the team should have attacking her as a priority in team fights)

Pull: Creep Pulling. Getting creeps from a neutral camp to follow you into the path of your lane creeps.

Rosh: Roshan. Refers to Roshan, the big neutral creep next to the river just below the middle lane. Usually indicates the player’s belief that either the enemy team is killing Roshan right now or that the player’s team should kill Roshan now.

Gank: Bringing several heroes to gang up on a target to kill them. “Gank lina,” is a request for you to come help kill her.

b: Back. If your allies start calling “b,” get out immediately, it usually means that you’re getting ganked. This is a more urgent warning than a miss or mia call.

TP: Teleport. A request for you to use a Scroll of Town Portal or Boots of Travel to come assist in a fight. “tp mid now”

Def: Defend. Self-explanatory, “tp to def mid”PushTraveling down a lane as a team in order to work together to fight and kill enemy buildings.

[spoiler=Rune Terms]DD: The Double Damage rune.

Reg: Regeneration rune.

Illu: Illusion rune.

Haste: Haste rune.

Invi: Invisible rune.[/spoiler]

Hero Missing/ Returning Calls

miss: Missing. A warning that enemy heroes have gone out of view and might be ganking, so be careful. Usually said with a hero name, such as, “Lina miss.”

mia: Missing in action. Same thing as miss, such as, “Lina mia.”

re: Returned. The opposite of a miss/mia call, “Lina re” means that she’s back in the lane she came from and you don’t have to worry about her.

Hero Descriptions

nuke: A generic term for any spell that does damage. “Nuke him” just means throw your damage spell, pretty much no matter what hero you have.

ult: Ultimate. Any hero’s level 6 ability is referred to as their ultimate

oom: Out of mana. Don’t expect any more spells from this player during the fight.

mana: Just saying “mana” usually means the same thing as oom

cd: Cooldown.Should usually be interpreted as, “Hold on, the spell I need isn't up yet.” Also, you might see something like, “ult cd 30″ which means, “My ultimate is still cooling for about 30 more seconds.”

Brb: Be right Back, meaning he maybe go heal/shop and come back to you.

You forgot:
ss : Missing call
Stack: act of luring neutral creeps away from their spawn point so more neutrals will spawn.
Will add more when I think of some.

What you're talking about is 'Neutral Terms / Farm Terms'. This is for beginner. You're going in an advanced language.

But you're right. People use sometime this terms. So adding it is a good thing.
