For example; @ - When prefixed to a member's name, means that the following comment is directed "at" or to that member. . - Used to add a post without typing anything, means "I agree" or "+1 to my post count" or the same thing as BTT. Also sometimes left behind as a placeholder when someone deletes the content from a post or as a quick post to tag a thread. +1 - When used with a quotation, means "Ditto" or "I agree". When used in the EE feedback forum, means a good experience with either a buyer or seller. When just posted with no reference, it means "I agree with the OP" or "+1 to my post count, I have no new comment" or the same thing as BTT... -1 - When used in the EE feedback forum, means a bad experience with either a buyer or seller. 87 - A nonsensical answer to nonsensical numerical questions. For example, someone might ask "How many magazines should I buy?" There is no meaningful answer to this question because it varies according to each persons' unique circumstances, so the canned answer becomes "87". Originated by markm, it has since taken on a life of its own and is used by others who think it makes a funny in-joke. The number 87 is also associated with several other meanings in general usage. 88 - Short hand for a neo-**** or, more loosely, any white supremacist. Derived from "H" being the 8'th letter in the alphabet, and HH being an abbreviation for "Heil Hitler". The number 88 is also associated with several other meanings in general usage. AFAIK - As Far As I Know AGNTSA - Aww Geez Not This Stuff Again (substitute more colorful noun for "Stuff" as desired) AJNTSA - Aww Jeez Not This Stuff Again (substitute more colorful noun for "Stuff" as desired) AWOB - Another Waste Of Bandwidth (derogatory comment made by someone who wishes to point out what they consider to be a pointless thread/post.) BFD - Big Freakin' Deal (substitute for "Freakin'" as desired) BOHICA - Bend Over Here It Comes Again BOTD - Babe Of The Day (something now reserved for the Team Forum only) posted as warning for any thread containing an image unsuitable for viewing at work) BTW - By The Way Just to name a few... Just my opinion. |
