OK, I'm the OBI - Obsessive Compulsive Idiot that proposed a list of abbreviations to Lynn. WHB - With His Blessing, I put this together.

Hopefully, this will help everyone get a better handle on what some of the acronyms used around this forum actually mean.

TAWK Then Again, Who Knows?

(Somebody help me, I can't stop!!)

I'll leave this work in the hands of the forum staff, who, hopefully, will place it somewhere prominent and keep it updated FTTT - From Time To Time.

I really need help, here...

All kidding aside, I hope my humble effort will help other members and guests of the forum.

Can we stickify this for the newbies (or just for me???)

kerryman71 · 02-04-2008, 09:50 PM

Glad you found it.

kasperitis · 02-04-2008, 09:54 PM

Some stickification would be quite appreciated, I'm sure.

Windcalmer · 02-05-2008, 04:54 AM

+3 on the sticky request. This is a great post!

kasperitis · 02-20-2008, 07:05 PM

I think this should be a sticky in the Newbie section or in the General section, personally. But a bump for now.

ByronTodd · 02-20-2008, 07:19 PM

I used the Report Post button to ask a mod to sticky this. They may not have seen our newbie requests for stickifictation, but at least with the Report Post, I know that at least one moderator will see the post (and hopefully the requests)...

Make sure you add NSFW - we almost shut down the site because of it few months ago.

rastewart · 02-21-2008, 04:21 PM

TY (Thank You), Mike, for starting this and kasperitis, for pointing me to it. Add me to the TSRL (Thread Stickification Request List)--this is very helpful in navigating the mysteries of SRL (Straight Razor Lingo). TTYL (Talk To You Later), right now it's GBTWYCBI (Get Back To Work, You Cobweb-Brained Idler) time for me.

Bump and request for sticky

Did you not get the memo from the RPD? (Rolling Pin Dept.)

She who must be obeyed was what "Rumpol Of the Baily" called his wife (when She was not around to hear him) " Rumpol" was the title character in a series of semi autobiographical books about a British Barrister. It was also made into a "Masterpiece Theater"

cwrighta70 · 03-10-2008, 04:39 PM

I agree with the rest...this should be a sticky! I'm using it frequently.

And Mike, I just realized...I'm not too far from you! Marion, IN

cwrighta70 · 03-12-2008, 04:56 PM

What is NON?

I wish I could search the term, but it's too short.

Wildtim · 03-12-2008, 05:20 PM

My congratulations to the leatherworker formerly known as Tony Miller for skipping right over one name and making it straight into initial celeberity status

way to go

No, but I am going to make sure my son does.

poona · 03-20-2008, 08:54 PM

Patrick973 · 03-21-2008, 04:44 AM
