Just a thought...I'm new to this site and while going through the threads (new word for me as well), would be helpful to have a specific glossary definition area for newbies?

Sort of like the smiles section??

E.g.: BTW

 

BTW - by the way
WOT - wide open throttle
POS - piece of sh*t
LOL - laughing out loud (or lots of laughs)
IMO - in my opinion
VTEC - I forget what this one means

 

Luft46,

Good idea. Why don't you PM cthree about this? Could be something that we all add to over time.

 

IMHO - In my humble opinion
LMAO - Laughing my ass off
ROTFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

 

Thanks! There are typical email acronyms most are familiar with: LOL, etc...but others that are site specific: WOT. I will send a PM to cthree...can't right now, but tonight. Work's gettin' in my way at the moment!

This could be a creative way to communicate, almost site specific to S2ki!? (As long as people don't come up with raunch). Well, a little raunch goes....???
