JPAC Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Here's one for the 'lingo'; Fretsprout or fret sprout; when the sharp edges of the frets extend beyond the fingerboard. The wood shrinks over time due to environmental conditions like heat and humidity, causing the metal fret ends to stick out. The metal frets need to be filed down. There's loads more but I can't remember them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali63 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi all New here, was looking for the "introduce yourself" section when I saw this thread. BUMP = Bring up my post. Could someone tell me If I need to open a new thread to introduce myself. I am also over 40. Modern technology hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenic Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi ali63 It is generally regarded as Polite Proper Protocol, to create a new thread in the introduce yourself section so that you can tell us all about yourself, and be welcomed by anyone who happens to pass through there. MODS: I know thise thread is for understanding the lingo - but I thought a friendly pointer to a new member was polite. - this can be deleted later.

ali63 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 No bother. Thanks for the advice arsenic, navigating your way around a new site is always tricky. I will try harder next time. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robocorpse Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 FTW has been around for years, and traditionally means "F.ck The World", but has recently been appropriated by internet kiddies to mean "For Teh Win" (sic). It was very common in France and Germany in years gone by, along with a tattoo of 3 little dots in a triangle on the bearers hand, which stands for "FTW" or "F.ck The Cops" (translated literally as "Mort Au Vaches / Death To Cows). This would get you beaten up by guards in French prisons, but would also get you respect from other inmates. The tattoo is common all over Spain and Mexico as well, but there it means "Mi Vida Loca", but I digress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have one to add ^^ HTH = hope this helps Be careful with W/E and WE - W/E is generally accepted as meaning weekend, where WE usually means whatever! Doesn't always follow but still Then there's also the 'picture' ones; OTL : commonly used to symbolise failure. Doesn't mean anything specifically, but it looks like someone kneeling with their head down (the 'O' being the head, 'T' the arms and 'L' the legs). I believe that this originated in Korea. \o/ : throwing your arms up in the air, usually used as an expression of joy or surprise =3 : is a smiley face with a kitty mouth! Alternative versions include; :3 X3 and very occasionally =^_^= I'm sure I have more but I'm struggling to think of any atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
