Forum specific lingo ?

[J4CKO]

Every forum seems to have its own language to describe certain events, technical details and situations that newcomers wont understand.

PH has the Custard thing, MX5...., x35d..... the Whoosh Parrot, the Red Bull thing (with its own T shirt) and probably others.

Scoobynet has "Cocklinks" which I think is to do with some anti knock thing for engines and it rhyming with penis slang, they also have SIAL which means report, stands for "Scooby in a lake" which relates to this post wich got posted a lot back when it happened.



Any more ?

PS, not sure I get the Whoosh Parot, does it means something has gone over someones head ?

Every car on Edition38 belongs to Jolfa.

There fixed that for you.

Love that - you are operating at a higher level there... In the parlance of my colleagues in Sinclairs, that's a classic Waahh...

Did that start on BB and migrate here or did it start here and migrate to BB?

VVAL might make it to the list soon (very very almost lorry).

"...with the back-seats down" is often referred to on another forum, when looking to get maximum performance from a car with, errr, back seats. This relates to the post on a Corsa forum where some apparent physics master folded the back seats down in his Corsa to make it more areodynamic and faster. Still makes me chuckle.

SWMBO - love that one.

No you fold them down because it makes them lighter, in the same way you can't walk on a frozen lake, but you can crawl. Laying them down therefore makes the seats act through a larger plan area and they are therefore lighter.

Obviously.

There was a thread on this very forum in which the back-seats down came up.. Along with, if I remember rightly, Cadence Clutching... Yes, you read that right..

Someone will find it I'm sure. The chap was working very hard to extract max performance from his Corsa, including the backseat trick, keeping it shiny to reduce drag, refusing passengers, and wearing the bare minimum of clothes. Great guy, shame he didn't stay longer.

Now this is something I nearly started a thread on the other day.

You constantly see threads with the speeling polease and people not liking txt spk but this site is covered in accronyms that I constantly have to google to understand.

A few recent ones:

SWMBO
AFAIK
FFS
MTFU
IMO
IMHO
GTFO

This is to name but a few but rest assured there are many more.

Anybody else think the same?

From memory it was the Corsasport forum, I browse the projects on there occasionally as some of them are fantastic! I believe the guy also cleaned his car loads to improve the aerodynamics and get better something or other...

That one was sad 5 mins after it happened.

Cadence clutching was fantastic... the guy reckoned he could make his car get up to speed faster by stabbing the clutch while on full throttle, so the sudden 'jolt' through the drivetrain boosted the car faster

Wasn't Cadence Clutching one of Twincam's many well informed ideas?

Can someone explain where the hell "So much win" came from?

Is it like AYBABTU - translation gone wrong?
