Hello,
I though we should start our own glossary for the offtopic forum.
1. Foreign phrases (ie American slang, English slang, etc...)
2. Unusual forum shorthand.
3. Anything else you can think of.
This should become the repository of knowledge for newbies and foreigners.

F****g Ugly Beyond All RecognitionOriginally Posted by VCDHunter
My Dad was in the military, FUBAR and SNAFU both originated from there. He always said it meant repair, I can remeber when I was younger and he mentioned it. "What's that mean?" ...."Ummmmm I'll tell you when your older." -

I've noticed the predilection for "bite me" in your posts when I search for that phrase.
It kinda works for all occasions -

I was semi-serious. I meant the Amerika tapes
-
Hold up, since when did we use phrases like you Fubar'ed and Snafu? I don't remember talking like this?
Or are we just creating our own language for use in this forum...maybe then we can post politics and advertising without the mods noticing.

Yep. We had a softball team named that just last season here...Originally Posted by CapmasterAnother military classic that always reminds me of merit review at work:

Also, I like some of the (British?) slang terms I've seen here... Bloke, knackered. I don't know what it is about them that make me laugh, I just do. -

I always thought IMHO meant: In My Humble Opinion
P.S. Thanks for clarification Dr., I never knew what people meant by "**** off!"If God had intended us not to masturbate he would've made our arms shorter.
