Tuesday, September 16th 2008

This is a list of words and phrases you may see in my posts from time to time and what they mean or represent. Some are linked to places the explain the word or phrase better than I could.

BBS
GPS
Kat – This is a personal friend of mine; her blog is here.
Definitely – One of the most misspelled words on the internet. It’s spelled incorrectly so often that there is a web site dedicated to show you how to spell it correctly.
Thru – This is the incorrect way of spelling through – but I spell it this way anyway because it’s shorter and there can be no mistaking it to mean anything else.
New England
stomping grounds – Where I grew up.
ICQ – A really crappy instant messaging service plagued with so much spam it’s ridiculous.
Tampa Bay
Northeastern Connecticut (or just CT) – another name for the stomping grounds. A crappy place to be.
FL – Florida (where I live)
Tampa
Buick – Whenever I mention this I’m usually referring to the Free Spirit car (I run that site by the way).
CL – Craigslist
TPA – Tampa Airport (Tampa Florida)
BOS – Logan Airport (Boston Massachusetts)
Fuggit – Sounds like “Fuck it”, get it?
