hello. So in the past i have seen a lot of forum text talk, (IMO, IRG’s, bump, etc, and many more) and this is a thread where i, and other people will answer your questions about, forum text talk. here are some basic ones, PM= personal message IMO- in my opinion bump- it means that your posting this for one reason and that reason is to move your thread up on the list etc- so on and so forth IRG’s- inner ring grinds (thumb grinds, finger grinds) PGM = Plastic Grind Machine (I think I’ve seen this question here before) YYF = YoYoFactory YYJ = YoYoJam DM= Dark Magic FS = For Sale FT= For Trade LF= Looking For WTB= Want to buy FH = Freehand (and the Z if FHZ is zero) C22 = Catch 22 AFAIK= As far as I know IIRC= If I remember correctly IMHO= In my humble opinion OP= original poster WTTF= want to trade for FYI : For Your Information TBA : To Be Announced; usually yoyo release date or something like that. OG: original generation YYG: yoyo guy YYN: yoyonation KK: konkave bearing BST: buy sell trade ---

Off the top of my head not in any particular order (some of these seem pretty obvious, but you never know). I don’t know if the intent is for this to only be yoyo related, but I’ve included some that are used in general but are a little less known than say lol or brb. PGM = Plastic Grind Machine (I think I’ve seen this question here before) YYF = YoYoFactory YYJ = YoYoJam DM= Dark Magic FS = For Sale FT= For Trade LF= Looking For WTB= Want to buy FH = Freehand (and the Z if FHZ is zero) C22 = Catch 22 AFAIK= As far as I know IIRC= If I remember correctly IMHO= In my humble opinion (also, it’s abbreviations not obbrebiations, but are really more acronyms. Perhaps the title could be, instead, Forum Acronyms and Abbreviations) ---

> [@JonasK](#): > > I can’t see this being a sticky as several other webpages have all this information at hand, and googling isn’t hard. It may not become a sticky, but it is good information, and the websites that contain common internet acronyms do not cater to acronyms from the yoyoing community. No googling isn’t hard, but what does it hurt to have an easy index to common yoyoing acronyms that are used here ## For fun though, Google ## IRG= International Resources Group ## PGM= PGM‎ - Barclays Capital Inc iPath ETN DJ-AIG Plat A  (NYSE) ## C22= [PDF] HASTELLOY® C-22® alloy File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - Quick View The undiluted deposited chemical composition of C-22 alloy covered electrodes has 0.02% carbon yyj= Victoria Airport Authority - Victoria, BC Victoria International Airport (Airport Code: YYJ) is the 9th busiest airport in Canada with over 1.5 million passengers per annum. Victoria is well served … Granted that simply adding yoyo to the end of those (except IRG) brings exactly what you’re looking for, but just making a point. Perhaps instead of a separate sticky though, it could be added to the “Guide to Using the Forums” that Kim-Lan made. (Just a thought) ---

Kim-Lan doesn’t post here very often anymore, we could add to it if it isn’t locked, or have a very kind moderator(hint hint nudge nudge) attach it. :wink: Edit: I think if we want this connected to Kim’s guide, we should really up the caliber of it. This is more of a babbling thread than a clean and clear guide. If Johnny edits the Op with the new things we bring up, then it might be more useful, since people won’t have to read an entire thread to find the one thing they are looking for. Just my thoughts ;D ---
