Abbreviations

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I recently joined another forum, not because I’m an expert but because I happened to know a few facts they didn’t know. I noticed that they used some abbreviations we also use here, but with a very different meaning, like:

DP – here it usually means Deep Purple, there it means

Donald Pocket

Here DT means Dream Theater, there it means Duck Tales. Do you have any other good examples?

	DSOTM - stands for Dark Side Of The Moon, but also for Don't Spit On The Meal. TAAB - Thick As A Brick / Taking Albatros Aboard Boat (the albatros is a bird of good luck).

	^ That’s a bit uncanny because the information I could give to the Norwegian donaldists was about the translation of Coleridge’s poem Kubla Khan in a Don Rosa story, and Carl Barks used The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in an earlier story.

	SA on Something Awful.com forums stands for Something Awful. ...here it means St. Anger. Thankfully the 2 will never be confused. POS is Pain of Salvation here. I'll leave the other meaning to the imagination for those who don't know.
	Bandcamp
