Abbreviations!!!!

[darrin5]

Would one of the grand wizards, master of arms, site supporters or someone that is good with abbreviations please make a list of all the abbreviations that are used on this board, I am a simple minded redneck okie that gets confused on all the abbreviations. Thanks for your time...

 

[ZbornacSVT]

it'd be easier if you ask which ones to translate....the list is TOO long

 

[Waynetucky10]

I've thought about doing that. Maybe call it "INGO Lingo"

IB-4TL

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Somebody told me once that INGO has a FAQ. It's in there.

 

[darrin5]

IB-4TL

Yep just like that, got me on that one too......

Abbreviations on INGO don't differ much from other forums on the net, except there are some on gun forums you won't see on car forums for example.

My abbreviation, IB4-TL is a variation of IBTL or IB4TL which all mean "In before the lock" which means I got to post in a thread before it goes downhill from petty arguing or a mod's hammer drops.

 

[Scutter01]

There's an entire section of the INGO FAQ dedicated to it.

It's A Trap

 

[Mackey]

Have you ever wondered why the word Abbreviation is so damn long?
And why is there no common abbreviation for abbreviation?

And another thing:
Why isn't there a synonym for Thesaurus?

And:
Why doesn't INGO have a FAQ for GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what the heck does FAQ stand for?

AND where the hell are my car keys?
Can someone wipe my butt?

 

[darrin5]

Guess all I had to do was ask instead of jump out there with my wienner sticking out waiting to be stomped, lmao

 

[darrin5]

Ok, ok, ok damn I get it I should be looking at the FAQ list before I ask dumb question, but like they say a dumb question deserves a dumb answer.

Hey, don't take it personal. You'll find out after you've been here a while. We like it when people post stuff like this.

It's nothing personal, more like a game of pile on or tackle football.
Honestly, it's all in fun.
Well, mostly in fun cause you breaking out the smilie with the AR is kind of over the top
