save

What does save mean?

When a round's lost, dying with a rifle means buying a whole new one next round. So you save: avoid combat, hide, run the clock, and keep your gun. Live and you carry that rifle into the next round, which means a stronger buy.

"Round's gone, everyone save, don't peek, keep your guns."

Origin

Counter-Strike economy play. You 'save' your weapon and money.
