21st Century Dictionary of ATS Acronyms

Dear MA,

Due to the fact that this devastating disorder has affected a loved one, and a damned good cross-country hauler at that, I would like to donate to the fund. Hopefully research will develop a cure.

Please let me know where to send my donation.

In the case of such severe and apparently incurable affliction, prayers which have been initiated and the care program of a loved one such as yourself, hold out much more hope of success than monetary donation.

Thanks, I will advise the SiGMAtosis Sufferers Society of your kindness, and send you whatever further information pamphlets I might find.

I wish your spouse a speedy and safe recovery from the disease, and hope it does not affect the acuity with which he wields whatever weapons he finds in his scabbard in any quests on which we accompany him, lest he be hoist on his own petard!

I could not let this one pass.

With acknowledgment to ktprktpr, my favorite tautological acronym, who made this observation.

This is not to villify one of the most vehement and vociferous and voluminous members. It is to venerate, validate and vindicate.


When Uninen rejoined as Fulcrum then rejoined as Bandit, I ceased to call him Uninen-Fulcrum entity, and abbreviated to the new acronym UFB.

I will not retain that acronymous salutation, as it was quickly pointed out to me that

UFB = U #ing Bastard.

Heaven FORBID!

DSA = Divided States of America, new nation founded by the Bush administration 2000-2004. Current home to majority of ATS members.

you forgot one:

TSA = they see ALL

Thanks, sentient arthropoid.

P - Prison
R - Reforms
A - Almost
N - Nobody
K - Known

I guess I should congradulate LanoTom for being this month's TWAT. He set the record of Twat votes.

I am no conspiracy theorist, but ever since this thread resurrected back from oblivion, I might be suffering from in-frequent bouts of SiGMAtosis.

Observation:

Notice the EDITS in the first post by post by MA. They are dated about a year after each other.

Problem:

I thought edits could be made only for 2 hours after posting. Am I delusional?

Analysis:

1) Either, MA is SG or an undercover mod
2) MA is a hacker

The 3rd option is unglamorous and not befitting the SiGMA theory, but anyhow: Since, I am not a PIMP and relatively new, maybe back then the EDIT rule did not exist.

Solution:

You tell me!!
Almost a year and a half later, I assume the C.H.E.E.S.E's on ATS would have succeeded in ECT and found a cure for SiGMAtosis.

Hopefully, Medicaid covers the ECT cure or do I need to emigrate to Canada?

For the N.I.C.E. ( Naive Interjector Crying "Explanation) Here is an Addendum:

SiGMA: Simon Gray= MA
E.C.T. : Eliminating Conspiratorial Thinking
PIMP: Poster of IMmense Postings
C.H.E.E.S.E.: Certified hardworking exceptionally entrepreneurial scientific emissary

The 2-hour edit limit was instituted within the last six to eight months [mid-2004]. Prior to that, one could edit whenever. As such, the MaskedAvatar edits occurred prior to the implementation of the 2-hour edit limit.

So were not including things like ROTFLMFAO or PMPLOTF,

I think these kind of acronyms should be included, so I'll define the above two.


ROTFLMFAO
(Rolling On The Floor Laughing My F'ing Arse Off)

PMPLOTF
(PissMyPantsLaughingOnTheFloor)



Really these should be added, it took me FOREVER to figure them out.
