Hey guys, I was wondering if perhaps there already was a semi-comprehensive list of acronyms and shorthand jargon that might help me out when reading some of these threads. I've been able to figure out some of them (LC=Loose Change, CT = Conspiracy theory/theorist, etc,) but others, I'm not having so much luck with. Such as:

OTC = (anti?) Conspiracy Theory / Theorist
IHOP = International House of Pancakes
LIHOP = ??
MIHOP = ??
ETA = Edit (something?)

If there's not already some reference I missed, is there any way we could start one?

Thanks in advance, I'm sure they're all common phrases here and I'll be kicking myself later, but I find it's always best to try to get past your ignorance as soon as possible after you realize it.
 
LIHOP = Let it happen on purpose
MIHOP = Made it happen on purpose
ETA = Edited to add

OCT- Official Conspiracy Theory (Theorist), used by 9/11 deniers to try and claim that the evidence based conclusions of NIST and the 9/11 commission are equivalent to deluded tossers posting drivel on myspace.
LIHOP= Let It Happen on Purpose, the slightly saner branch of Conspiracy theorists, who believe that Bush was not behind 9/11, but ah detailed knowledge prior to the attacks, but decided to do nothing.
MIHOP= Made It happen On Purpose- the nutty Bush/JOOOS!/ Reptoid CT's
ETA= Edited To Add.

Hope that helps.
 
OTC => Used by CTists as Original (or Official) Conspiracy Theory to describe the Commission/NIST/FEMA reports. Personally, I tend to use EBC (Evidence Based Conclusion)
LIHOP => Let It Happen On Purpose
MIHOP => Made It Happen On Purpose
ETA => Editted To Add
 
MCT = Mass Coverup Theorist <-- thats one id liek to start using

pulls the deniers away from possible legitimate uses of the word "conspiracy"
 
I thought OTC stood for Original True Conceptualization based on empirical Evidence. Or OTCE, shortened to OTC because of the Cters attention spans being to short.

I use LIHOI, which stands for Let It Happen Out of Incompetence/Ignorance.

I liked the one gravy (i think) used the other day...

SNGOTI

My version would have to be

SGDTP (Some guy down the pub)
 
TLA - Three Letter Acronym
AWFL - Acronym With Four Letters
AWFUL - Acronym With Five Uppercase Letters

:)
 
FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation, the mob like agency that silences thousands of witnesses by rereading their library books.

CIA - Central Intelligence Agency an intelligence agency that failed to put WMD's in Iraq but invisably put them in the Twin Towers with super military precision

UBL - Usama Bin Laden who financed 9/11

OBL- Usama's twin brother Osama who is often blamed for 9/11 but worjed for the CIA. The reason the gov't has not found OBL is because they are looking for UBL.

NSA - National Security Agency or No Such Agency is the agency listening to my exciting phone calls to my mother on why I am not married.

POTUS - is short for a guy who is more interested in a My Pet Goat than National Security but doubles as a mastermind terrorist.

VPOTUS - Vice President of the United States, a person in an undisclosed location who shoots lawyers while hunting quaill. What is a quaill and how do you spell it?

Quail. Or Quayle if you mean Papa Bush's VPOTUS. The first is a bird. The second, a guy who can't spell potato.

I rather like WYRBW. I think I should start using it in mod boxes. As in "WYRBW? Please keep in mind the Membership Agreement and be civil and polite."

I meant Cheney shooting birds but hitting lawyers instead. what wasn't civil or polite?
 
CYGWWPQITO – Can you guess what Wolfgang Pauli quote I'm thinking of?

"I don't mind your thinking slowly; I mind your publishing faster than you think"
"This isn't right, this isn't even wrong"


I'm pretty sure me and Wolfgang would get along great. His name being Wolfgang is also +1 points in my book.

Cheney is evil. Nothing more needs to be said.

That wasn't an official mod box. That's just what I want to post the next time I need to post a "civility warning" mod box.
 
Thank you for asking this! I'd been too embarassed to ask, myself. ETA was throwing me off, because in my line of work, that has always stood for Estimated Time of Arrival.

I was just hoping to learn w/o having to pester people, but since folks have replied with them, I'm going to ask:
SNGOTI? (Yes, I even saw the hint and couldn't untease it)
TANSTAAFL (Yes, I know the old "free lunch" one. Is this just plural?)

Hitting the learning curve at a brisk stride,
Missy
