Acronym translator...

[ILuvSony]

Since I am the newbie and not too familiar with some of the acronyms listed in the threads, could someone be kind enough to spell out and point out the most common ones?

I know YGPM = You Got Private Message, SQ = Sound Quality, FS = For Sale...

What are BUMP? DOWN? UP? IC? and so forth?

Thank you!

ILS

Moved to the general forum...

Hope you get all your questions answered

BUMP, UP, and DOWN are not acronyms. If you uncapitalize them, their meanings should become more apparent

IC = interest check

 

[PFKMan23]

FS- For Sale
FT- For Trade

Okay, so Bump, Up, Down...
Now what? It usually says one word.
Are we talking price? Is someone requesting a price increase or decrease? Is the seller adjusting prices?

What does bump mean? I am too old for this....LOL

Bump is for the forsale forum. When a tread goes down to the second page the seller reply with bump to "bump" the message up to the top of the first pages UP also mean the same thing. UP to the top of the first page. It just mean hey it's still for sell i want it to be seen

WOOT = Woohoo Loot (an old dungeons & dragons prase, fast forward to today's internet culture and it is used to express happiness, excitement, Joy)
YMMV = your milage may vary
IMHO = in my humble/honest oppinion
SPL = sound pressure level
db = decibels
Hz = hertz
TTT = to the top, used to bump a thread back up.
WTTFSAYW = welcome to the forum sorry about your wallet
DSOTM = dark side of the moon (very popular pink floyd album)
6Doit = 6 degrees of inner turbulence (popular dreamtheater album)

I think it means both... there was a thread on this a while back and someone in cyberspace devoted a www page to it, in reference to D&D.

i seen someone use ftw here & the only thing i could think for that was taz's line from ecw wrestling or that notorious big song meaning **** the world. but after a search i found this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_slang so it probably meant for the win.
