Forum abbreviations: time for a stickied list?

[rbgarr]

Add them as you find them... or make them up, if you're like me:

WBF Woodenboat Forum
EBS Elbow Bending Symposium
SWMBO She Who Must Be Obeyed
CRS some sealant??
5200 a 3M product for bonding things together forever and a day


Not forum-specific (NFS;))

afaik as far as I know
iirc if I recall correctly
btw by the way
damhikt don't ask me how I know this
fwiw for what it's worth

[rbgarr]

Fine additions! Jargon should also be listed, of course. Being 'Cleeked' is like getting your hand slapped for being silly in class.

What was Ian's 'committee'? The PWIW?

[capt jake]

YMMV your mileage may vary (took me forever to et that one)

[rbgarr]

BLTN better late than never

[Willin']

Er... I believe CRS is Can't Remember Shit, if I remember correctly.

DAMHIKT...Don't ask me how I know this.

O&O...Old and ornery (obstreperous is sometimes substituted).

[Mrleft8]

IMHOP- In My Humble Opinion.
YMMV- Your Mileage May Vary.

Unfortunately the list of O&O's has sadly diminished in recent years... Who's left? O&O PNW (Bob Smalser), O&O East (Donn)....

[FSS172]

Yeah, but just don't try using SFB for that little inlet with the red bridge somewhere out there on the other side of those big hills.... :)

[Willin']

Yeah, those Friscoites are a pecky bunch!

[Hughman]

SWMBO She Who Must Be Obeyed
CRS some sealant??



CRS, as mentioned, is 'can't remember sh*t, maybe you're confusing this with Mr. Smith's 'CPES': 'Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealant

SWMBO, from 'Rumpole of the Bailey'; here this is sometimes rendered as 'She Who Married Boat Owner'

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Most of the abbreviation can't be defined on the forum for rear of being Scoted. As you can Guess a few of them may have an "F" in them.

HTFU
STFU
GFY

CPES, that's the one.

HTFU is one of my favorites. I laughed so hard when that first appeared.

[Yeadon]

cpes - aka, move on, there's nothing in this thread that hasn't yet been beaten to death.

wamp - where are my pants?

[Gary E]

NO... how freeekin lazy can you get

[Bob Cleek]

Gosh, fame is such a burden!

Now I know how Paris Hilton feels.

ROTFLMAO!

Mussel? I'm surprised. I thought it was muscle bound.

[Nanoose]

HTFU? I've got the ending (I think), but can't get the beginning for the life of me.

From Dave's time in the navy, though I'm not sure it's used here: FUBAR

HU = Harden The
And I'm afraid that our vertically challenged, gap toothed, chrome domed, muscle bound, volvo sipping friend is also grammatically challenged.....:D (Curtsy INDEED! :D )

Really? Who'd've ever noticed? :rolleyes: ;)

[Captain Blight]

SWIMPAL= She Who Is My Parter And Lover

PEBCAK= Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

[outofthenorm]

Let's not forget the classic PITA.

And from Douglas Adams, there's SEP - Somebody Else's Problem (As in, I sold the boat, so now it's SEP)

[S/V Laura Ellen]

How could we have forgotten:

IAAJ

[rbgarr]

I still don't know what IAAJ means. When I see these abbreviations the meaning either jumps out at me instantly or mystify and I give no more thought to them.

SWIMPAL was one of those.
