Battleground
In player versus player (PvP) games, players may use bg as shorthand for battleground. This abbreviation refers to a game map (or section of a game map) on which players fight each other (either as teams or in FFA matches).
Some bgs may be generic, while others are specific to certain game modes. For example, when discussing a battleground for a first-person shooter (FPS), a player may say the bg is available only in CTF. This means that battleground is available only in the game's capture the flag mode.

Big grin
BG is a way to say that you have a big grin on your face. People often send it in messages as an alternative to :-D or a similar emoji (may also be written <bg>).
There are many instances in which you might send BG. For example, if you are elated by something your friend texted you, you might reply, "You just put a BG on my face!"
Some people also use it to convey playfulness, like when joking. For example, you may message your sister, "Did you like that cold shower this morning? BG." after you flushed the toilet on her.
