[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anybody else having trouble with all the acronyms?

Posted: 10/9/2002 6:57:27 AM EDT

Having served in the army I am not new to the use of acronyms, but I have seen acronyms on this board that are totally foreign to me and it's driving me crazy! It's like trying to decipher someone's vanity license plate! Anybody care to post a short list of acronyms pertinent to this board for this crusty soldier?
Thanks!

[url]http://www.techdictionary.com[/url] Some of them you can type in here and it will give a translation. There are other sites with this info. This will only give you generic internet translations probably not BTT JBT and others that are "unique" to this site.

There's nothing wrong with asking. I went months before I figured out why people typed BTT and nothing else in a post.

No nibbles? OK, I'll go ahead...

BOG is a reference for a former member of this board. His actual screen name was Blaze_of_Glory, or something very similar. He can still be found at full-auto.com, and still has quite a knack for rubbing people the wrong way.

Occasionally, I yearn for the day where we can similarly start talking about Scarecrow in the past tense. Then again, I anjoy reading his ignorant adolescent anti-US rhetoric - it humors me.
