Some old NA players' habit of calling items by their English names still lingers.
Back then there were people who flexed by using the full English names, but not so much these days.
Anyway, people still use these a lot so I compiled them.

BT Bloodthirster
PD Phantom Dancer

Berserkers Berserker's Greaves
Triforce Trinity Force
Wit's End Wit's End
Spirit Visage Spirit Visage
FH Frozen Heart
RoA Rod of Ages
Abyssal Abyssal Scepter
QSS Quicksilver Sash
Void Staff Void Staff
Mallet Frozen Mallet

Sunfire Sunfire Cape
Mallet Frozen Mallet

If there's anything wrong or missing leave a comment.

back in early s2 knowing english item abbreviations = sweaty tryhard not knowing them = boosted animal lol that was the vibe back then, but now i realize it was just those na veterans pulling some fucking elitist shit. ogn tried really hard to push korean item names to kill that attitude, and it worked. these days people use korean abbreviations a lot, but english ones are still pretty common.
More
But there were items in Season 2 too that only got called by their Korean abbreviations... like ppalg-jang and nok-jang.
More
Looks like Frozen Mallet is listed twice Mallet - Frozen Mallet Mallet - Frozen Hammer
