I'm actually quite new at this forum stuff and I can figure out most of the abbrevs but a few just stump me and I was always afraid to ask.

I know:

I don't know:

MAROAA, WYUANOAITTRSOPCUILAWAKWIM. I think I made my point.

[rs159]

in case you're too stupid to get what I just said :rolleyes:

Make a registry of all abrevs, when you use a new one add it to the registry so other people can use it later and we all know what it means.

[HBombToo]

you token that smelly stuff again rs???

[rs159]

Hmm, well, 1, 2, 3, uhh, 6, uhh... ooh, snap!

Try again, man this is hard.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 9 X (2.5 X 2)

Guess not.

[Dr. Spec]

TOTL???????

Tour - I always "acronymize" long movies titles. If they are popular, usually they are instantly recognizable.

LOTR-FOTR EE is much quicker than The Lord Of The Rings - Fellowship Of The Ring, Extended Edition.

Doc

[VR3]

TOTL - Top of the Line

[dcarlson]

DSOTM - Dark Side of the Moon.

[rs159]

SPM - South Park Mexican

He's real, trust.

[rs159]

I also don't get when you would use "bump". Is it kind of like "owned" or "burn!"?

NO, bump is usually used when a thread has become dormant without any responses in a while. Most people just reply with "BUMP" to bump the thread back into the active/new posts queue so that others will read it again.

Fubar, Ok then.

I guess "bump" makes sense, too.

[gidrah]
