common acronyms used?

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Mar 06, 2007 3:58 pm

Post by adam3b58 »

hello everyone, i am new here, and i've seen some acronyms that i can't begin to guess at. there's FOS, which i've learned stands for Finger of Suspicion (i think). i think it would be a good idea to make a list of these for new comers, if there isn't already. if there is, could someone post a link for me please?

another couple i've seen were something like OMGUS and EOSBC.... i know those are most likely very wrong, but that's the point

thank you

It's only found in this thread, so I would guess it's a mistake. :)

I'm guessing it's supposed to be EBWODP (edited by way of double post).

What's Sarnath'd? I get the meaning (double-post/"Jinx") but where's it come from?

Apparently (I found this on Wikipedia) Sarnath was a player on Misetings who was known for Sarnath-ing.

Yup, correct. It basically means being beat to the post; you type in a response and post it, and by the time it shows up someone's already said the same thing.

Pretty sure "BAMF" should be on that list.

I prefer it to be the sound Nightcrawler makes.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.
