Yeah it's the detail lingo... for acronyms....

To be honest - even I have to use Skynet to figure out what everyone is talking about.

Here's a couple you can chew through....

Don't feel that way here on AGO. Every person on this forum had to start from square one.

The acronyms can be very confusing at first. They were for me for sure.

Never hesitate to chime in and say "Hey, what the hell is OCW??" (Optimum Car Wax).

ONR - Optimum No Rinse wash is one that's common

Don't worry about it. It's all good.

I remember when I first discovered the forums and how lost in the acronyms I was. People had just begun trying to put together the acronym lists or glossary of acronyms. Fast forward many years and I've been gone from here for so long I'm feeling like a dummy again myself. If you have the bug like I did, you'll stick around and learn them. I like to be useful, or bring the message instead of the mess, so I've been sitting here trying to think of some acronyms to help you out with and I can't think of any!! 5P'S Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance!! I learned that one from "The Junk Man"

Don't feel bad, when I first encountered the WETS acronym here I thought maybe it had something to do with urinary incontinence ...

There wouldn't be a problem if everyone stuck to basic literary standards and put the full name in parentheses the first time they use any abbreviation in a thread.
