Pre-School Decode Sheet
 

For those of you who need to decode some abbreviations, i present you, this sticky.



For all the goddamned letters that people use on this site.

If it is a CAI SRI, TBE, TB, CB, FPDE, CDFP, SMIC, TMIC, FMIC, ETS, KR, MP, TP, DP, MBC, BPV, BOV, MM, CAE, AS, SLS RP, STS car then the KR is too high, the EGTs are too high, the PSIs are too high, LTFTs are between 1-8, MV is above 4.9, and the AFRs are at like 14:1, according to my CP&E SB, COBB AP, DH that I bought from PG, SU, CS, TRZ, RPMC.

I mean FUCK yall are about to give me a anuerism trying to read some of this shit. My frickin head is spinning. I don't know maybe I'm not JDM enough or something, maybe I'm too old. Sometimes I swear yall abbreviate some shit just so you could be the first to come up with a catchy abbreviation.

So please can a Mod like sticky a glossary or some shit so I can understand what WTF I am reading. I mean OMG TSB. Yall are speaking borderline Mandarin Chinese.

:)

I think you missed a few.

most of the abreviations will make sense if you decode them in the context of the message. If you really want to spearhead such an effort, go for it, if there are a few you find and cant define, im sure people would be happy to jump in and tell ya, but my guess is that 95% of the people on this site know them already and dont need said sticky.

not trying to be a douche, just putting it out there that this isnt the starter site. you graduate to MSF once ya go through all the grade school shit over at 24/7 and m3f

again, if you make a list, im sure people will help out, but I dont see it happening, I know i got better shit to do like drinking beer, farting, surfing porn, etc

again, I, unlike a certain canadian, dont say any of the above to be a dick

No problem and I honestly am used to it. I have been in the car thing pre F&F so I know how it goes. Its just too much sometimes. I need the fucking Rosetta Stone to decipher some of the shit.

TSB=Technical Service Bulletin.

you need to read my post closer.

ooo bronze star in the house!!!
breakdown is da man!

you forgot a new one that hal coined last night
SAS

I think the thread it was in got deleted, so maybe it never existed afterall...

TSB=This shit blows FTMFW You get a fucking thank you Break Down

In an aviation related forum that I check daily (airliners.net), there is a feature where all the airport and airline abbreviations such as KLAX, KPRC, KPHX, US, and CO are hot (or whatever you would call it) so that when you move your mouse over them, they the actual name will appear (ex. Los Angeles Int. for KLAX). That way, if you know the abbreviation, you're good, if you dont, then you just go over it with your mouse and it'll tell you...
As an example, check this thread out:
UA Flight JFK To Bangkok — Civil Aviation Forum | Airliners.net

This feature may come exceptionally handy with all of our growing abbreviations..

Funky

lol f&f ftmfw

LMFAO FTMFR

I am an A&P Licensed Mechanic and I have only so much room for abbreviations since I live between GSO and INT.

I was going to say that same thing, but for a different board. I gotta assume it's a plug in of some sort

I'm going to start posting people's sig mods in here to get them translated.

Well to put a light on this BS i had a chick, in a store, who was helping me the other day actually looked at me and said "o"-"m"-"g" after I asked her a question she didnt know ... she freakin said the txt language ... rEtArDeD .... nice rack and ass though so I gave her a pass .. just wait .. that shit is coming on a permanent basis .... :hypnotized:

ok, being a total dweeb, what the heck do FTM and FTMFW stand for?:15:

FTW = for the win
FTMFW = for the mother fuckin win

I may start a new thread called the mod to complaint to Mazda timeline. How long does a modification take to cause a complaint and that complaint ultimately being blamed on Mazda. Something like this;

Week 1

Week 2
Week 3

We will even have a little fancy abbreviation of MCMP (Mod to Complaint to Mazda Period) the above example will have a MCMP of three weeks.

are those real or did you make them up?

Made them up. Funny thing is you had to ask, probably because it happens so much.

again..another hilarious thread or AHT...

QTF? Need translation please

QFT=quoted for truth

Haha, I always thought it was "quite fuckin true" ;)

Well, you get the same meaning both ways... so sure, why not.

really?? I always thought it meant "Quit Fucking Talking"... always been wondering why nobody blows their stack when somebody tells them QFT

This thread delivers. WTF OMG!

you have too much good information in yours.

No he hasn't. He has saved me from sinking aboard the US Failboat Constipation. I am now enlightened. This is still not over though, this is still the internet and we still drive a sub 30K four banger turbo car. Our people will come up with something new to befuddle me in the near future I garuantee it.

ROFL ::high-five::

Hey sleeper! Your an A&P? What company do you work for?

I used to work for TIMCO and then Piedmont Hawthorne, Sept. 11th ended my last gig as an A&P and now I do some G.A. stuff for some of my freinds to keep my licencse current.

cool cool. Ya im i pilot so i was just wondering! I wanna do that as a minor but i just wanna graduate already! lol! Still cool though working on cessnas and stuff!

Dude GA kills me because its like "I need this alternator fixed" I look at it and its a frickin AC Delco alternator from a Malibu, but since it has to have the stamp it costs like $500 instead of the $60 it would normally cost at NAPA. Go get your license it takes some time and a lot of hours in the class room but its worth it in the end. I might look into US Airways I heard they may be hiring mechs again soon.
