Glossary for Newbies

Yes, "SMH" should be the next addition. It means "shaking my head". There are supposedly other connotations, but that's the main definition.

As for "LILIM"... I've only seen one person use that, TheFinalMessenger. I have no idea what it means.


EDIT: Pyrus, that line was from my original glossary. I definitely hold those Gonk threads in high esteem, but sadly, I don't think there are many who would say that about them anymore.

 

Yup, I edited it in a few hours ago.

 

I have a question about the definition of spamming. How can you tell if someone is posting just to up their post count unless they say that's what they're doing?

FYI, I asked the question here because I think everyone needs to know.

 

It doesn't help. Which do you think I was posting in the pillow fight thread for: to up my post count or to have fun?

Consider:


1. Most of those posts were about whacking people with pillows and therefore not off topic.

2. None of those posts were double.

3. All of those posts were at least one minute apart. (Not that they could have been less than a minute apart.)

4. I have no reason to post just to up my post count. At this point, I could join any group that requires a certain post count for joining without having to increase my post count.

Also, I post a lot in the game threads in SWC. When I do, I always wait until someone else has posted before posting in the same thread again. But some of those posts are close together, too.

 

CW, where do I specifically name you as upping your post count? If you read my post I say it's a growing problem with everyone in that thread, I can cite example where two people would post pretty much the same thing for pages on end, whether you were or not is not the issue, my post was to everyone. I specifically say that I don't assume if it's on purpose or deliberate - intentionally or unintentionally - but it is a growing problem with the direction of the thread itself.

I already warned you not to take this issue into other threads and bring them off topic (that includes threads outside WNU). As I said, if you have any problems with what I said, you?re welcomed to bring them to me through PM and I?ll be happy to discuss them with you.

 

What do NRW and NRM stand for. And what do they mean.

 

Hmm, I'm seeing a few results Searching for the term. I have National Retcon Week... which isn't making sense to me. I'm seeing those terms used a lot in Literature though... I'm at a bit of a loss.

 

I think "QED" needs to be added to the list. I've never known what it meant and I still don't, and you see it a lot, so...

 

I noticed my suggestion wasn't added.

I don't want to sound pricky or anything, but I do think that QED should be added to the glossary, given how much it's used around the boards...

 

according to urbandictionary:

1) From the Latin 'quod erat demonstrandum', a mathematical term meaning that a proof is complete.
2) A mathematician's way of saying "OH SNAP *****!"

"So you see, by this simple proof, your theory is wrong and mine is correct. QED!"

I'm not sure if that is right, though. It does seem to work for most of the cases I've seen it in.

 

A couple more to add to the list.

FTL = For The Lose (Loss). A recent compliment to FTW.

NIAWYC = (I'll PM this one to you )

Have a day!

 

Good work skiara

 

What is the meaning of NIAWYC???

 

Oh it's totally within TOS.

But it was the subject of a thread in the JC Community that had everyone scratching their heads as to the meaning. Fun for all.

 

Oh, I think we're past it now. It was given away in the thread. There's another acronym mentioned in that one that I'm not sure about, but if it is what I think it is, it's not at all appropriate. Of course it might not be.

 

Yeah, but it was still fun...
