Ricecracker Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 He always has bold green text, so does he just add it on every single post? I would like bold blue (as in this and my most recent posts), and would like to know if I can get it without adding it to each post individually. Now don´t call me lazy, I´m just asking. Thanks. There isn't any special way, and I really don't think it's necessary. I personally find using bold and coloured font obnoxious. Quote
Dennimator Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I think JCC colours each post individually.The staff strongly discourage the use of bolded, non-standard coloured text. Blue is probably even worse on the eyes than dark green. Oh.. Okay, sorry. I won´t use it then. Quote
Asilla Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) What means : AFOL ? forget it, found it Edited June 25, 2010 by Asilla Quote
Big Cam Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I know you figured out your initial question but in case anyone searches for this. There is a pinned thread at the top of this forum called the EB glossary with all of these LEGO terms. Quote
Asilla Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I know you figured out your initial question but in case anyone searches for this. There is a pinned thread at the top of this forum called the EB glossary with all of these LEGO terms. Yes, I found out and there is lot's of them, was just looking of "SNOT" not a very nice word in Danish I can tell you Quote
ThatGuyWithTheBricks Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Haha, thanks for that BigCam, I've always wanted to know what some of those terms meant. It's an unfortunate coincidence that LURP can also be taken inappropriately. EDIT: I move that we make CCP a term. CCP=Cheap chinese Plastic Edited July 1, 2010 by ThatGuyWithTheBricks Quote
WhiteFang Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Since the topic creator has found the meaning of "AFOL", I shall lock this topic. Thanks. WhiteFang Quote
LegoCityMann Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Someone asked me what MOD means, so I propose the following addition: MOD: The Modification of an official LEGO set. Edited August 14, 2011 by Siegfried Added! Quote
gotoAndLego Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Someone asked me what MOD means, so I propose the following addition: MOD: The Modification of an official LEGO set. Problem is that also means forum moderator, and someone is just as likely to use the other context. Both need to be added. Since Mini is in there, how about Midi: Smaller than System-Scale, Larger than Mini-Scale. On an aside, I thought SHEFOL was Shemale Fan Of Lego Edited June 23, 2011 by gotoAndLego Quote
Legostein Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Hello! I would like to suggest some additions for the glossary. I am not sure if someone already suggested these, but I think they would be an enrichment for our glossary. CAD Computer Aided Design LDD Lego® Digital Design(er) The official virtual building program by LEGO®. LDraw Lego® Draw The basis software with a huge parts library needed for CAD programs like MLCad. MLCad Mike's LEGO Computer Aided Design A virtual building program using the LDraw parts library. POV-Ray Persistence of Vision Raytracer A tool to create three-dimensional renderings. Cheers, Christopher Edited August 14, 2011 by Siegfried Added! Quote
Legostein Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Hello, I have not given up yet. Here are some more common abbreviations which could be handy, especially as they often appear in thread titles. LUG Lego Users Group A popular suffix to the name of lego fan groups RC Remote Controlled Sets that feature remote control, for example 8369 Dirt Crusher RC 8475 RC Race Buggy SW Star Wars A popular licensed theme by LEGO® Star Wars theme on Brickset IJ Indiana Jones A licensed theme by LEGO® Indiana Jones theme on Brickset POTC Pirates of the Carribean The new LEGO® pirate line Pirates of the Carribean line on Brickset KK Knights Kingdom A castle line by LEGO® The Knight's Kingdom I line on Brickset The Knight's Kingdom II line on Brickset SP Space Police A space line by LEGO® The Space Police I line on Brickset The Space Police II line on Brickset The Space Police III line on Brickset See you around, Christopher Edited August 14, 2011 by Siegfried Added!

Brickdoctor Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) While we're suggesting themes, 'HP' (Harry Potter) isn't in the Glossary either. I also notice that 'Duplo' and 'Quatro' are listed, but 'Primo' isn't. 'Dacta' might be a good addition as well. Edited August 14, 2011 by Siegfried Added! Quote
Fallenangel Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Don't forget MB (Mega Bloks)... Speaking of themes, it's occurred to me that many terms commonly used in the Star Wars Forum such as BP (Battle Pack), TCW (The Clone Wars), and RGS (Republic Gunship) are also absent from the Glossary. The same can be said for SSD (Super Star Destroyer) and ISD (Imperial Star Destroyer). Perhaps BL (Bricklink), BS (Brickshelf), FBTB (From Bricks to Bothans), and TBB (The Brothers Brick) should be added as well, since they are mentioned quite frequently on these boards...

Legostein Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Hello again! When browsing through the forums, I stumbled over some more things for our glossary. RCB Relay Community Build People all over the world contribute a part for a big diorama. See here for a summary of Eurobrick's RCBs. lxf A file extension used by LDD. D2C Direct-to-consumer A set made by fans directly for consumers. See here for the latest D2C contest. CMF Collectable Minifigures A recently occured abbreviation for the LEGO® Collectable Minifigures series. BSB Black Seas Barracuda A common abbreviation for the popular pirate set 6285.

Siegfried Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Do not fear Legostein! I have noticed your hard work and I'll integrate your suggestions. The Glossary needs a lot of cleaning up in general... Quote

AWFOL Adult Walrus Fan Of LEGO What does that mean, a Walrus Fan? Is there actually an abbreviation of a Lego event/exhibition? Quote

Alasdair Ryan Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 It's Comments & Criticism, if I remember correctly. According to this you are nearly right (Critique & Comments). Quote
monkeyjay2003 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Here's one of mine: MOT, or my own theme. Quote
Trainmaster247 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 This was me trying to figure out what MOC stood for just thought everyone would get a good laugh out of it many odd creations models of cars multiple other creations miss or create and many more I already forgot about real definition: my own creation Quote
legoguy1984 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I laughed at the first one. All mine seem to be odd. ☺ Quote
npgcole Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 A new one you could add is TFA (The Force Awakens), which is being used a lot in the Star Wars forum to refer to the upcoming sets. Quote
