Trash talk

Trash talk is when people say mean or rude things to each other during games or competitions. It's kind of like teasing, but sometimes the things people say can be really mean or hurtful. People use trash talk to try and get into their opponent's head and mess with their confidence so they won't do as well in the game. It's important to remember that trash talk should never be mean or harmful and it's always best to be kind and respectful to others, even when playing games.
