Acronyms Defined

[eidanyosoy]

I would love to see a thread with all the acronyms defined in one spot for the new grower and me ofc lol. Anyhow I will start off with one then make up a list and post that if no one cares to respond.

ie: "im using pbp and liquid kharm"
What he really said was "I am using Pure Blend Pro and Liquid karma."......I think.

This confuses the shit out of me so I am sure it does new growers as well.

In the late 80's I was having dinner with some geek buddies. They were talking computer and I went mildly postal when they started talking about "scuzzy" cables. "NO such thing, you're just trying to make me feel stupid," I cried! Boy did I feel even dumber when they explained Small Computer System Interface ... :badday:

Thanks Weedninja!
Finally got around to looking up the thread. Interesting, but a little underwhelming. Was hoping for something more interesting like; OG=Oh God, OrGasm, Outer Galaxy, Outrageously Gnarly, Ol' Grandma, etc... You get the point.

Best,
