If you hit Alt F4 it displays a list of the most common abreviations use on the site.

Dude.. You forgot the most important one!

TFP = Time For Pie!

(To the OP.. Just because we're not mean, but DO like to be funny.. Here's the 3 I see most:

TFP = Time For Prints (an arrangement between a photog and model in which the model's time and work is exchanged for prints from the photog instead of money)..
TFCD = Time For CD (same deal, just the model gets a disk of the images.)
GWC = Guy With Camera (or more accurately a Groper With a Penis.. Who's into photography only to try and get laid..  But it gets used way too much, so if you see it, don't worry about it..)

Now back to the fun....

ILP! DLP? WJLP?

I told W.G. Rowland that I didn't plan to post a lot on this site after the gracious comment he left me on the computer crashing post from a couple of days ago, and I'm really not. Doesn't mean I'm not quietly around just observing. I've learned a lot about this little dysfunctional cyber family, of which I am now a member, by choice.

Not to hijack this thing guys, and dolls, but you cats are just fucking mean man! All of you. This is doubtlessly on purpose for some of you, for some it is a half assed attempt at anecdotal humor. Or if you took the time to check W.G.'s blog site, some odd form of cyber social internet addiction? What the fuck?

The kid (meaning the op) is new. He dosen't know what the fucking abbreviations mean. Everyone on here that responded with anything less than helpful to the guy is exemplary of... Hey not to cut myself off in mid sentence, but you know what you guys remind me of? That Brian Depalma movie "Casualties of war". If you haven't seen it, it stars Sean Penn, and Michael J. Fox.

It takes place in Vietnam just prior to the Tet offensive. Fox plays a character not too dissimilar from Charlie Sheen's character in Oliver Stone's "Platoon". You know very idealistic at first, and then over the course of time spent in the literal, and metaphorical jungle of apathy, and disregard, becomes as jaded as the rest of his seasoned war buddies; who later go on to rape this village girl, kill her, and cover up the body.

Now in a way what you all jokingly do to anyone who is new to this site is very much the same thing, metaphorically speaking of course, especially the mega high posters *ahem* (no names neccessary), and some mods. You all have been around long enough to not only know the ropes but what it's like to be new. Somewhere. Anywhere. But now you've all been "In country" so long, you don't think about the how a new person may feel walking into your "house" as it were. Now I know that that's W.G.'s, and all of your sorry attempts at a welcome for the kid, but the op just wanted to know some terms people.

Fuck it. I'll do it. Hey, new guy! Can't you read cherry? Right underneath that horrible banner picture of Tyler in drag, there are listed several options. These options include one labeled "INFO". This option is no less accessible than the others. Upon accessing it you will find the answers that you are so innocently seeking. Once you find them, a word of advice...stay out of the forums. Don't post here. Some people aren't kind souls like me. They don't want to help you. They aren't purposely being mean. They've just been in the jungle too long. They've got that "thousand yard stare". If you don't want to end up jaded like most of these guys...stay away.

Hell, but that's just my advice, maybe you came here to join the "gang". Stick around long enough some of this crap may actually rub off on you! Ha ha! And I like W.G. too! I really do. Parabola I suppose.

At least he, W.G., actually helped the freakin kid! Everybody needs to take a page out of W.G.'s book! Eventually, once you sift through the madness, he's probably one of the most helpful, albeit cryptic people on this site. He is the greatest! He is the best! You people tear him down every chance you get, and you don't even know him!

Woah! Woah. Do I hear the throes of Amber Dean? Doth they echo from some distant chamber? Ok, I'll stop now. Ha ha! I shall diminish. To speak her name may eventually evoke some wrath that I am not presently equipped to deal with.

Hey new guy? Do you understand the "lingo" yet? Just messin with you kid, welcome aboard. Have fun while you're here. Real word of advice, don't take any of this shit to seriously man.

"They're just like pictures in a book Danny". "Just like pictures in a book". -Danny Torrance, from The Shining

Oh, MM, what have you done to me?

Now I feel guilty....

I think you're taking it a little TOO seriously though..

There SHOULD be disclaimers at the top of every forum announcing, "Abandon all seriousness, all ye who enter here.."

Primer, if you're new:

MM isn't all that mean of a place.. But the forums are filled with people with too much idle time on their hands.  People who've been here a while have often made friends (and occasionally enemies), and spend far too much time joking around with them.

These jokes often jump from forum topic to forum topic, and if you don't have the time to waste catching up (and that's probably a good thing)..  About 75-90% of responses you see on here will not make any sense..

It's generally safe to assume, that if you don't get it or someone sounds overly rude... They're probably carrying over baggage from somewhere else on the forums and you're probably safer not taking it personally.

Oh.. And MM has lots of crazy people..

- a crazy people.

Apparently you haven't been around long enough to know the ropes...keep the expletives to PMs...non-members can easily access this section of MM, therefore cursing is not allowed here. And chill out. For real. It's a silly website. There's no need for YOU to go on berating the people here who are trying to keep the mood light. Especially not in an email whose general gist is that people should be nice to each other.

PS...OP (original poster...in other words, the person who started the thread...there's another one explained for you smile), if you ever have any questions about particular abbreviations and you don't feel like wading through crap here in the forums, feel free to email me and just ask me personally. If I don't know...I'll ask someone who does so you don't have to worry about searching for hours for an answer.

Well the first day I arrived on MM I was very eager to be on the same page as everyone.

So I quickly made a post in the forums but did not take the time completely examin the website. I did miss the info section >_< .

Sorry for the lousy thread.


I do understand some of the short term phrases such as TFP/CD now.. and thats all I really needed to know at the time.


Thanks for welcoming me to MM in this unique and rather interesting flamed way smile

I thought Tet was offensive. Or was that Brusilov? I often get the two confused.

To be honest I do see some abbreviations on here that I don't have a clue what they mean - but be summat to do with me being a Limey and all that. So I just scratch my head and then make a poorly-educated gues.
