Gamers use the acronym PUG to refer to pick-up groups, which are teams or parties comprised of players who don't know each other. You're most likely to see this acronym used while playing team-based MMORPGs, MOBAs, or FPSes, in which players who are LFG commonly form PUGs.
Creating or joining a PUG is a great option when you can't fill out a team or party from your FL. Most online games have tools that allow players to easily form PUGs, so they can assemble a team of randos and start playing - no friends required.
