In chat and gaming, salty refers to a person acting upset or bitter about past or current events. For example, someone who believes they are better than the other players in a game may become salty with their teammates if they’re losing. When a player is salty, other players may tell them to calm down or ignore or ban them from the game or team.

How to prevent being salty

If you believe someone is a bad player, don’t tell them by saying, “you’re bad.” Instead, offer the player effective criticism on how they can improve or what you think they could have done differently.
