i think it would really help if somone could make a thread of all and any uncommon to the common world of z and even car related acronyms... ivve seen a few forums with em.. always helped me for reference... and so you dont always get the what does s.t.f.u mean? :P but really: tt and and ae... sure twin turbo and anniversary edition but do we all know that?! sure we can pick it up from context but helps a bit? yah?

NismoPick

Indeed we could... or a less time consuming google search would render the same results.

hehe... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STFU

Oh wait... you mean car related acronyms? We could do that.

KasbeKZ

IBTL! i still don't know what that means lol

NismoPick

^^^ n00b.

snwbrderphat540

WOW.... i shouldn't tell you, but it stands for i beat the lock. IBTL also a google search would have worked there to artard, and he means acronyms like TPS IAV IAC AFM MAF MAP IAT CAS dizzy (though not an acronym) ECU ECM TCM ect....

devonslick

on the nose! even dizzy.. maybe not a perticular term in many's "known word bank"

i just use acronym but all in all i mean any z-term slang and such.. thnx snw

snwbrderphat540

no problem, i suppose we could do that....

KasbeKZ

i knew the letters stood for that, but what does that mean. it just wasn't worth it to google it to me. i just metioned it.

NismoPick

It means you are posting on a thread that will likely be closed (locked) soon... so you are getting your post "In Before The Lock".

snwbrderphat540

i beat the lock! pffft... in before the lock, thats n00b talk. haha. i can lock threads in the how-to section, now if only people of intelligence were still using it.

NismoPick

"I beat the lock" is n00b talk... Google IBTL... most all definitions say "in before"

snwbrderphat540

and thats why its n00b, its the popular crap term, the real internet users dont have to post the real term cause they already know it means i beat the lock

KasbeKZ

snw got powers? locking threads and what not?

NismoPick

Super powerzzz!!!

snwbrderphat540

lol, i can move merge delete edit lock and unlock threads/posts in the how-to section, oh and make stickies there, thats about as far as my powa reaches... for now

haha he drives a girl car


BTW IBTL!!! FTW!!!

haha TSI= TOO SLOW for the INTERSTATE

snwbrderphat540

"for the" kinda defeats the acronym = Fail

KasbeKZ

yeah, USA has been defeated!

snwbrderphat540

cause there "of" in it, no big you can slip one small word in there, but saying for the is a bit much to leave out of the acronym

KasbeKZ

the guy at the exhaust shop this weekend called my mufflers "homie chromies". i'd never heard that lol. pretty good one.

wrong thread.... sorry. meant to put it in the post ***** thread lol.

devonslick
