I don't get picky about terminology as long as I know what the other person is talking about. If I get confused by a different term used, I explain why I was confused.

As for Dragon*Con and "see you at con", it's probably more "See you at 'Con" as an abbreviation as it's part of the name. I tend to drop the "con" from the name of cons that end with the phrase. I say "ax" for Anime Expo, "ay-sen" for Anime Central, "Yoh-ma" for "youmacon" (I've heard people sound it out like "yoo-ma" as if the y-o-u is pronounced the same was as "you and me" and it GRATES MY EARS), etc etc etc.

I've heard some refer to the Dealer's Hall/Room as the "Den of theives". The downstairs area of Ohayocon is "Dead Presidents" (as that's what the rooms are named after). That's the remotely fanciest I can think of. Places like registration is just "reg". Pretty standard abbreviations really.
