It does seem to be defined by the mini-culture of each game. Some games base a lot around poses and emotes, others more on speech and still others on knowing the whole written history of the world. Some try to wrap it all together.
I say read the guidelines and documents provided, especially for the culture/race that you are playing and then just be the character. If you mix that with watching and picking up on how others go about it you can learn the game-specifics on acceptable role-play.
The biggest part that some people miss, in my opinion, is involving others. Learning to leave proper pauses so that other players can act/react/speak can always be a bit tough.
No role-player worth their salt (none that I have known at least) would mention "twink" or "newb" in any in-character setting. Those are both (in most games) OOC terms.
