The EB Glossary

[xwingyoda]

You seem to have forgotten AFOFL and Rewn ;-)

Ah yes, forgot AFOFL !!

Whereas REWN, I don't agree with the acronym :-P

*yoda*

[Hinckley]

Ah yes, forgot AFOFL !!

X-D Thanks!

Whereas REWN, I don't agree with the acronym :-P

*yoda*

But you coined it. And it's not an acronym... :-|

Can you add frown?

What about whack?

Am I pushing my luck now?

[xwingyoda]

Can you add frown?

:-$ I forgot that :-D

I can't recall that topic really, was there a consensus over the appropriate name ??

Frown sounds nice but is way less straightforward than bley ;-)

What about whack?

Sure but you write the "backstory" for it ;-)

Am I pushing my luck now?

Indeed >:-) :-P

Soup Nazi On !!

Can you add frown?

Not unless he adds rown :-| Nobody liked frown :-(

[captaintau]

This isn't the time or place, but...

IMHO "frown" is dumb. "Rewn" makes much more sense.

If we can't agree, though, we shouldn't have either.

Right... 8-| This is the place

Errrr... SNOT is still completely wrong.

SNOT: Studs Not On Top

A building technique where studs are, surprisingly, not always on top. This can be achieved with pieces designed for the purpose and have studs and/or anti-studs) on two or more faces, or by using pieces in a creative way. For example, most of the hinge pieces are good for SNOTting.

EDIT: My tug boat uses SNOT to make the roof and front of the pilot house.

Heres a funny one I made:

OOB: Out of Box(the alternate of NIB)

Never Out Of Box

[CP5670]

I keep a spreadsheet of all my Lego purchases (especially off ebay/BL) and use a bunch of abbreviations in it to describe various situations. Here are some examples:

NWB: new without box (i.e. no box but unopened bags)

NI: new incomplete (unopened bags but not all of them are present)

UBx: used with box in condition x (x is a number between 1 and 10; 1 is the worst and 10 is display model quality)

[hewkii9]

Never Out Of Box

Now that's just a mean suggestion suggesting people who are never out of boxes are noobs. I suggest we stop suggesting hurtful suggestions.

Although if used in a Lego set context, I like it.

[Sandy]

I finally remembered the two terms that were missing from this glossary: decal and prefab.

I know what they mean now, but since neither of them is an actual English word, they should be explained here as well, in my opinion. Many people use them around the boards, and for new members they might be confusing. I remember I was confused when I first read these words, but like a smart gal that I am, I deduced what they meant eventually.

What about POI(Pieces Of Interest - Interesting pieces found usually when sorting through baggies from sets or when searching through misc. LEGO)?
