Something that is absolutely necessary to understand some messages from a guy out of Virginia (Va) :

dayuuuuuum : Va swear
Ewwwwwww or Awwwwwww : Va shocking experience
va ditty o : Va video clip
heathen : Va customer
$$$$$$$ : Va universal language
back room : Va stripping facility
Ewe : Va pet


these are the first that come to my mind, but there are many more...:hmm3grin2orange:
 
I saw rubbing alcohol for IPA, but a much tastier IPA is India Pale Ale, Redhook is fine, Lagunitas is outstanding!
ESB= Extra Special Bitter, but now Sierra Nevada is calling their new ESB "Early Spring Beer". :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

This is my new wood hauler tag. Hmm 359= Husky
APF= Always performed fine!!
 
SNAFU= Situation Normal All F'kd Up
FUBAR= F'kd Up Beyond All Recognition.
SAWMA= Suck A Wild Man's A**

To me abbreviation is different from jargon(Acronym). Jargon to me would be something like:

Header?
Backcut? - Is this just simply the last cut opposite from the notch or is it more than that? Watching Axmen made me wonder if it was more.

I saw this somewhere here and not sure what to make of it. I saw another one I wanted to ask but can't remember.
