CPF acronyms

[Vic Sage]

we used to have a "dictionary" of our unique terms, abbreviations, acronyms and phrases. Or was that on the MOFO?

I've seen 3 terms i initiated used by others ... WWSB and TiTTS, plus someone shortened my phrase "big hairy moose cock" to "bhmc", which means it became ubiqitous enough to be understood as an abbreviation.

and Jonny just resurrected his MASATO.

i'd like to see a new list of definitions posted (or a resurrection and editing of the old list) so "newbies" can know what we're talking about.

WATP - Wild Ass Trade Proposal
Used to acknowledge that the trade you've heard about or are proposing is pretty unlikely to actually occur due to either:
- wild complexities: multiple teams, high # of players, serial trades (A & B for C & D, then package C & D w/E for ....) etc.
- or uneven compensation: and, oh yeah, maybe we'd have to t'row in a coupla prospects too

IGT: In Game Thread

MOFO: Mets Online Fan Forum (coined by A Boy Named Seo). Now known as NY Sports Day

This originated from a cooby typo and just took on a life of its own.

Wolf. The purpose of this thread is to 'splain stuff like that.
What does that mean?

LOOSER - when Mike Hampton made his first appearance at Shea as a Rockie, a Mets fan held up a sign that said Hampton's a "LOOSER". The irony of this Mets fan being unable to spell correctly while calling someone else a loser is memorialized in the word being spelt 'looser' on the CPF to this day.

Willets I didn't know that....that's funny.

[MFS62]

SC = Sarcastic Content
Assigned by the poster. We have not, to my knowledge, come to agreement on the official range of values yet (1-10 or 0-100).

I copyrighted yup© - I'm obnoxious.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Don't go implying that Mets fans are stoopid.

As the proud originator of "SC= " I can assure you the scale is 1-100.

[Vic Sage]

I posted but did not define the following acronyms:

WWSB - the abbreviation of Wee Willie Small Balls", a pejorative nickname for Willie Randolph describing his managerial philosophy.

TiTTS - coined on the MOFO, i think, stands for the "Trade in Tomorrow Today Society" which, in recognition of the low rate of success of any team's "prospects" and the $$ advantage the Mets have as a big-market team, advocates the trading of prospects for established stars, trading in tomorrow's speculative production for today's actual production. It was formed, i think, in reaction to Edgy's HBO...

HBO - "home boys only", which advocated not trading any Mets at all, preferring to fail with homegrown talent rather than succeed with mercenaries.

[metirish]

IMO = In My Opinion.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Hat started when someone misspelled hate, and it just caught on and took on a life of its own. It's a way of saying that you really dislike something, but not enough to actually hate it.

[soupcan]

......NOW!!!!!

as in 'GET THAT !@#$%$#@%^& OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!!!'

Coined by METSSC on the MOFO I believe.

RABBiT --- Researchers Against the Branding of Binary Terms.

When someone posts RMPL, I always read it initially as "Ruined My Pants Laughing" instead of its actual meaning of "Read More Post Less." I go thinking, "What's so funny?"

[Vic Sage]

]IIRC ..if I remember correctly FWIW - For What It's Worth IMO - in my opinion

Hey, Irish, i could be wrong but I think these are more generally used internet abbreviations, rather than being CPF-based.

What i was hoping for is a compendium of CPF-specific terms.

[metirish]

Ahh damn, sorry Vic....you are probably right....IFU...=I Fucked Up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Coined by METSSC on the MOFO I believe.

No, they actually had a poster named Sell the Team NOW!!!!

All caps, four exclamations.

1) I didn't mean to imply that.

2) Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't care what anybody else says about you (there have been rumors), you're OK Bret. Thanks.

Huh. Still one of my favorites.

Weird. That really haven't updated that have they (for example I don't think any newbie is going to be wondering about cookies since Baseball Mom hasn't posted there in five years).
