The Official Abbreviations Thread...

VIPER 48 · 12-11-2008, 04:27 AM

I thought it would be a neat idea to list and describe all of our commonly used abbreviations here at the tank. I think it will be useful for new members as well as some old timers that have always wanted to know but were to embarrassed to ask. I will update this first post and list all of our abbreviations as often as i can. So if you have some that you want to throw out, feel free to contribute...Thank you...

EDIT...Thanks to a suggestion by my good friend 245am, i have split the list in JOE/HISSTANK/TOY related abbreviations and General abbreviations heard around the internet...
