Members Cletus Spuckle Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 Bump means to bring the thread to the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbelt1 Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 bump? imho? gas? and any other stuff you guys think i should know. thanks a lot! Bump - to put a fresh reply on a thread to "bump" it to the top IMHO - In my humble opinion GAS - Gear acquisition syndrome (or guitar acquisition syndrome) The one I don't get is the intentional typo on the word "the," instead spelling it "teh." I'm not sure what's funny about that one... ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 TTT = to the top, to "bump" a threadIMHO = in my humble opinionGAS = gear aquisition syndrome, it's a disease we all have, or will have shortly upon entering these hallowed halls..

Members stanfield Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I thought 'teh' was a universal super-geek term? IIRC - If I Remeber CorrectlyThat one took me a while to figure out. I thought it was some Linux command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 don't forget the be all end all of happy acronyms "NGD", which means "new guitar day".. Similar you have NAD (amp), NPD (pedal), and many other N(something)D's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warriorpoet Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 that's the one i don't get and i am a geek. pwned/ pwnt/ pwnd are take-offs of a common misspelling of "owned" during rounds of Warcraft LAN games (IIRC). there's a wiki, but I'm too lazy to LIU.
