Be nice.. please.. or just use common sense.

If I'm new to a dungeon, I'll pipe up right away and tell people, "Ooh, never been here before! You point, I kill!" As far as explaining boss fights, I try to be humorous. It eases people's nerves and makes the group more fun. Apart from any specialty strat, like the lanterns in Haukke Manor, I give you dungeons 101:

1) Get out of stupid. This includes anything bad dropped on the ground.
2) Hug his butt. Try to stay behind the boss, away from cleaves, breath, whatever.
3) Kill his friends. Pretty straight forward.
4) Run like hell. He's doing some AOE thing. See 1).
5) Kite his ass. Drag the boss around in a circle, he can't stay in one spot.

Well yeah, there's always exceptions. And you explain those. But the majority of bosses I've found from 10+ years of playing MMOs follow those basic rules in one form or another.

Around my parts, we refer to these as "RED CIRCLES OF GTFO"

Lol nice. My MMO of choice before FFXIV was WoW (sad, I know) and whenever I tanked in raids (bear druid) I always referred to anything bad on the ground as "stupid" because you really had to be pretty dumb to not see the bright red flames under your feet. To add to that, when I played Diablo 2, I always referred to the hirelings as "stupids" since they had a tendency to get into trouble.
