IBTL = in before the lock - thread is getting heated/political and likely to be closed by mods, so people do an "I got here before the mods did" - possible sly way of suggesting people should cool it lest the mods get involved

Is it? I thought it just meant your hands would get slimy from playing it.

 

I was tempted to put "plays like butter" myself, but that should really go into the "advert cliches" thread which was around a while ago.

"RARE" (nearly always applied to something absolutely, in no way whatsoever, rare).

 

I actually saw yesterday, on Facebook marketplace, a guy describe his standard 2006 Musician Stingray as 'RARE' because he hasn't seen another 2006 Stingray for sale - therefore his must be completely one of a kind.

 

What a world we live in.
