An old thread here:

Maybe we could also suggest new abbreviations for brands that don't yet have them?!

[baubel]

I don't know about everyone else, I can't bring myself to refer to Ridge Verte as RV. Too many images of Randy Quaid in a bath robe with a cup of coffee in one hand and a hose in the other come to mind.

[Père Ubu]

JL for the Jades, especially since they no longer refer to the big crapsinthe maker that once made good booze.

RiV & RiB? or GMfMT and CMfMT? (Ridge Verte or Blanche, and Green or Clear Mana from Montana)

LG = La Grenouille

That's for a different thread.

[Père Ubu]

BdJ, the verte named after the castle.

actually, I was thinking more of Jack Rebney, but yeah.

[Père Ubu]

Abs. not antilock braking system, but an old clown in WA (Washington state, not Western Australia).

[OMG_Bill]

Are these called acronyms? No flaming.....yes or no will be fine. Thanks.

[Père Ubu]

Yes

Except for Abs. that is an abbreviation.

[Absomphe]

Of course.

For A boozing sot, thank you very much.

BFG 9000? I'm very Old School.

<---Sorry for the derailment. Carry on.

[Père Ubu]

In the oil patch we use BFHs al the time, they are a very useful tool.

Then there are BFRs like the Saturn V.

[OMG_Bill]

Share more about this oil patch. I'm a clerk.

[crow]

typo on the master list... I assume you meant Jade Nouvelle Orleans, not Jane

A big fucking hammer is a great way to bolt, or un bolt pressure vessels, when used with good quality hammer wrenches. Good engineers design for such, lazy ones design for the use of hydraulic torque wrenches. Also a great way to tap an inserted piece in/out of things. Also a great way to cut and crimp a 1/4" hydraulic control line all at once, reducing time, and potential for contamination of said line. And a great means for paramedics to learn about busted fingers.

[OMG_Bill]

HA! A BFH.
I'll have to find a way to use that at work. Most of my co-workers aren't mechanically inclined.
Thank you.

[fingerpickinblue]

[Père Ubu]

PF 1901? Is that like JL 1901?

The new label is pretty cool.

[Brian Robinson]

I suggest we only add the acronyms that are used on a regular basis in order to reduce confusion.

[OMG_Bill]

Whew! THANK YOU Brian!

Those F'n acronyms drive me nuts and I had planned to just refer to what ever I was drinking as either green 'sinthe or white 'sinthe.

People take short cuts until nobody has any idea W.T.F.! people are trying to say. It's a keyboard and it has a backspace button.....relax and type the names......I think the producers would appreciate it.

Just my two cents.

(slides soapbox back under the couch)

[Joe Legate]

No doubt.
Thanks, Brian. If an acronym develops out of familiarity, great but I don't want to be the producer of REd'AV, REd'AB or SADG.

KFC. Changing the name of Col. Sander's place was the tip of the downward spiral. Mickey D's, The continuation. Kmart is now simply a giant red "K."
I shan't place my head upon these train tracks. GFY.

[OMG_Bill]

Not to be an ass but I don't patronize Kentucky fried chicken, McDonalds or KMart anyway.

GFY????
Go
Fuck
Yourself???





Highlight the hidden question.

[Absomphe]

Me, neither.

WTG, Bill!

[Scott M.]

Me neither... I'm a veggie. and the GFY = "great for you," yeah...that's it! Absinthe is great for you...that's what I meant...

Really, that highlighted interpretation? I'd never suggest that, though I'm sure it would come in handy on a few occasions here.

[OMG_Bill]

Just an example of how things can be misunderstood.
