Do you think some one should make a sticky on the welcoming Introduce yourself board that expain all the AU "slang"? When I joined I found it very hard to understand.

Do we have AU slang?

But if it is hard to understand that would be good idea. If you'd like to make a post about it Lady Artemis I'll sticky it for you.

A-U slang...

Do you mean things like, lol and such or more inside jokes, like the WT's cake and popcorn and the Nazgul Club's cacti muffins?

^Mmm... Cacti muffins!!

Anyhoo... maybe she means stuff like "btw", WOOt" snd others of the sort. Though I don't think "btw" is very confuzzling. *scratches head*

Well, we have all the stuff about the WT and NC in general, plus family tree issues.

I can see how it might be a little confusing for newbies, but I'm not sure where our definitions would start - some things you just have to find out by posting around.

I think it's a great idea!
Specially for newbies (I'm still one) and for the people who don't have english as first language (and I saw there are many people from so many different countries here...). Some stuff like "btw" is obvious for people who speak english, but not for the others...

Btw was obvious for me, cause everybody is using it in the Netherlands. No idea why...

I think it's a good idea, but where to start...

Cacti Muffins?? *is confuzzled*

They're quite good, you should try one

The thread is perhaps a good idea. I'm still not sure exactly what would be on it other than "btw", "WT" and "NC".

I also think that that would be a good idea.. it would make it all a bit easier for new people.

Yes. I must admit it took me a good year to realise what "btw" stood for. I knew what it meant - I picked up on that from context, but asides from that, the letters meant nothing to me.

I felt very stupid when I finally twigged.

^ I never knew what BTW meant. Never. I still don't know what "Rotfl" means...can anyone enlighten me..?:blush:
