Standby, using a button on some modems, you can make everyone lag but you, making them run into walls for an easier assasination, etc.
Delevel, people who lose in matchmade games on purpose,
Host-lagging. Usually due to a bad host, the game lags, but everyone lags, because the person who got host has a bad connection.
Host- The Player whose Xbox the game you are playing runs off of. That player receives more powerful weapons, such as more bullets in a single shot-gun blast, better BR connection, and more splash damage with grenades. You will often hear "You only won because of Host." Host is not that powerful, it certainly does not determine the outcome of the game.
You seem new.
BXR-A glitch in the buttons that create pretty much an instant-kill with a BR close range
BXB-Can be used with most guns, a glitch in the buttons that lets you pistol-whip twice as fast as normal.
Double-Shot-RRX A glitch in the buttons used with the BR that lets you shoot two bullets in the time it takes to shoot one.

standbying is making ppl go to blue sceen then u kill them, its cheating. deleveling is make your lvl go down, host is whoever is hosting the game, they have a slight advantage, and lagging is when ppl have red/yellow bars when u press back, and it all slow and they move wierd. and its hard to kill ppl. if im wrong about these sry lol

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

what do you mean red/yellow bars?

The rest of your post was pretty accurate. Let me clarify a few things on "host" though. Host does not give you more bullets to per shot. Someone who has host is running the game straight from their Xbox which in reality they see the game in real time with no ping from the internet. They have no issues with latency which therefore makes all of their shots when hit, hit for what its suppose to. Shotgun without host has its problems typically because its suppose to be a 1shot kill. So if you have a bad ping or lots of latency it wont register properly. Host like said does not determine a game "unless" the person that has host knows how to in other words "abuse" it (That being said legitly and not to be confused by actual abuse in the terms of cheating). Abusing host could mean BR'ing across map when the opponent has no chance of hitting you with their BR due to latency.
