xwingyoda Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 My pleasure Phes!! Also since we have a chat room now, here are 2 others: IMO: In My Opinion IOW: In Other Words Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Governor Posted May 13, 2005 Is the chatroom actually up and running at the moment? Quote
Jipay Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 yes but there's only me. Later on, i'll be able to stay connected since i'll get my dsl connection Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Governor Posted May 13, 2005 Is DSL worth adding to the Glossary? Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Is DSL worth adding to the Glossary? Phes, isn't that common knowledge???? Everyone knows what it is even though they don't know what the acronym stands for ;) But we can include it if you wish ;) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Governor Posted May 13, 2005 I thought IMO was common knowlegde too. However we must bare in mind some parts of the world are not as technically advanced as other parts and not everybody has access to DSL. Myself only using a 56K dial up connect, though this is due to my own laziness and stupidity as it probably would be cheaper for me sign up for a DSL plan. Mind you DSL has only be avaiable in my area for just over 12 months now. But that's not the point! The point is some places DSL isn't in wide spread use and many may not know what it is. Further more it many regions its also know as "broadband" or ADSL which may lead to some confusion. Now techically they are slightly different things (which I'm not going into right this moment) however different places have slightly different interpretations on what they actually are. I think what we're providing here is "clarity". Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Point well taken Phes!! In the name of clarity, DSL was added to the glossary!!! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Governor Posted May 13, 2005 Excellent! You have done well Master Yoda. I can assure you my granny wouldn't know what DSL was. Even if you explained it to her she'd be completely and utterly and distinctly and absolutely and astounding baffled. Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Guys, just updated the thread to add: ROFL: Roll On Floor Laughing ;) TAWT: Tie Army Wanted Target (oh boy I love this one!!!) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 24, 2005 Author Governor Posted May 24, 2005 You and your TAWT... At least future users will immediately know what it is, providing they can find the Glossary Thread that is... Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Since its been a while I added a new acronym ;) Yeahhhhhhh MF = Minifig !!! Also MSRP = Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I'm kinda missing MIB (mint in box) and MISB (mint in sealed box) Quote
Norro Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 well this link might be useful... notable extras it features: "CRAPP: Crummy Ramp and Pit Plate - the baseplate with a ramp and pit." "ALE: Adult LEGO Enthusiast. This term was coined as an alternative to AFOL, since it is easier to pronounce." "BSB: Black Seas Barracuda, 6285." SES,RBR etc (Phes, how could you miss the ships? ; ) "MIB: Mint In Box/bag" "MISB: Mint In Sealed Box/bag" "NLSO: Non-Lego Significant Other." "POOP: Piece [that can or should be made] of Other Pieces." (this one is new to me, but I like it...) "S@H: LEGO Shop at Home" and for Mr Yoda: "SPUD: Special/Single Piece/Purpose Ugly/Useless/UnLEGOish Design/Decorative. Many people think that the many meanings of this acronym make it a great one, as it is not Single Purpose at all." God Bless, Nathan Quote
captaintau Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 How about IMHO - In My Humble Opinion. Or is humility not the EB way? Also SW - Star Wars (obviously) LULS - Light-Up Lightsabers NJO - New Jedi Order (post Episode 6 SW that LEGO really should make) UCS - Ultimate Collector Series AIVC - As I Vaguely Recall IIRC - If I Remember Correctly CT - Captain Tau X-D EB - Eurobricks (obvious I know, but some folks are thick) FBTB - Don't go there (take this any way you want to! ;-) ) RGS - Republic Gunship JC - Jedi Council DS / DS2 - Death Star / Death Star 2 ISD - Imperial Star Destroyer TIE - Twin Ion Engine ARC - Aggressive Reconnisance (as in ARC 170) ARC Trooper - Advanced Recon Commando (Trooper) TPM - The Phantom Menace AOTC - Attack of the Clones ROTS - Revenge of the Sith ANH - A New Hope TESB - The Empire Strikes Back ROTJ - Return of the Jedi HS - Han Solo PL - Princess Leia LS - Luke Skywalker / Lightsaber JTH - Jabba the Hutt CTT - Clone Turbo Tank AT-TE - All Terrain Tactical Enforcer AT-AT - All Terrain Armoured Transport AT-ST - All Terrain Scout Transport AT-PT - All Terrain Personal Transport ULD - Ultimate Lightsaber Duel DVT - Darth Vader Transformation / Deep Vein Thrombosis (possible from excessive LEGO building with lack of leg movement) BL - Bricklink MF - millennium Falcon FIIK - F***ed if I know! OMYK - Only Master Yoda Knows! RD - Red Dwarf (theme LEGO MUST make) RRP - Recommended Retail Price DS - Darth Sidious DM - Darth Maul DT - Darth Tyranus DV - Darth Vader RN - Registered Nurse (what CT is. Also a minifig sadly lacking) Does this help? Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Tks guys for your suggestions, I have added some of them ;-) *yoda* Quote
Sir Dillon Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 That's quite a list, Tua! It did help me for some things, until now I couldn't figure what IIRC meant. :-$ I'm surprised Yoda didn't add "OMYK - Only Master Yoda Knows!" to the list. :-P Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I agree that captaintau's acronym list is great, but I did not incorporate all the SW acronyms just because we are a generalist site ;-) However this post is a valuable asset *sweet* !!! And Dillon, no need to add that because its a known fact X-D :-P *yoda* Quote
captaintau Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I agree that captaintau's acronym list is great, but I did not incorporate all the SW acronyms just because we are a generalist site ;-) However this post is a valuable asset *sweet* !!! Oh, wow. Thanks for feedback. My post was a combination of trying to be helpful and also having a bit a of a laff. I'm glad if I've helped! *sweet* Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Updated further today to include different things and among them Bley (Bluish Grey) !! *yoda* Quote
JoeMI6 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Instead of all the Star Wars acronyms for the films, how about OT for orginal trilogy and PT for prequel trilogy. Just a suggestion... Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Agreed Joe ;-) For me its so common knowledge, I tend to forget that its not hehe !! I shall edit it right away ;-) *yoda* Quote
JoeMI6 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Cool, it's always good to have a fellow Star Wars fan as an Admin ;-). Quote
ScottManDeath Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 What is swooshing? :-$ I'd guess either moving a space ship around, with or without it leaving the hand of the swoosher? Quote
Zane Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Zooming the model around, with or without engine noises. And in some cases, with or without clothes. :-X Quote
