Hi everyone,
As I was reading the past few posts, I realized that a lot of people
make reference to various acronyms from time to time. Now, I've been
part of this group for quite a while now, but I've only recently
begun to read and post messages on a regular basis again after taking
a several-month-long hiatus. I remember being here for the inception
of some of the acronyms (CRAB AND LOLLIPOPS come to mind), but I
sometimes have a hard time following and remembering what all of them
stand for and what they mean. And then more have been created during
my absence that I'm completely confused about, no matter how much I
try to find them in previous posts. Just in the past hour or so,
I've come across SILKSHIRT, FEATHERBOA, LOLLIPOPS, and CHOP, only one
of which I'm completely sure about. Not to mention MAGIC DISHWASHER,
which I still don't understand, although I'm sure that one must have
been explained thoroughly, and I just missed it.
So I was wondering: is there some kind of all-inclusive list of
these acronyms, complete with meanings, or should I just keep
searching the archives for the first post in which they were
introduced?
Just a thought. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one to have
this problem :)
