Actually GAS can have a lot of meanings..Gear Acquisition Syndrome, Guitar Addiction Syndrome. The bottom line is that it means you have a desire to buy new gear. Also "bollocks" means bull{censored}, crap, {censored}ty etc. but "dog's bollocks" means good. Same as "bee's knees."Crazy Brits, I don't know what's so good about a dog's bollocks or bee's knees!

Same as "bee's knees."Crazy Brits, I don't know what's so good about a dog's bollocks or bee's knees! The original meaning of "bollocks" was testicles. A dog with bollocks "has the goods" so to speak. IN the 1700's, "bollocks" was applied to (of all things) priests. I wonder why...http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have been good... Yep, that would be 'good' {censored}. Played well, over the top.What about brits that "can't be arsed" to do something. I know that arse=ass, and I assume that in this context means 'bothered'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmonly Posted May 16, 2005 Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 If you're from Europe, do not refer to potentiometers as "pottis". Here in the U.S, a potti is a toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted May 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 Originally posted by LaXu I find the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary very useful when I stumble upon terms or words that I'm not familiar with. Yes, the "I dig it" thing is in there too. Thanks LaXu, I tried this site and I tried "dig" for fun and, Yes, one definition fits the meaning that is given to it on this forum. I've put that link on my desktop, can come handy sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IdaCrue Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by Jkater Thanks for the offer! To use your help on the forum will benefit more people, I think. I also hope that other non-english speakers will use this chance as well because I can't think of all the expressions that have puzzled me at one time or another. P.S: It's not my english that's so bad (Well... it's good enough to get by anyway). It's my knowledge of the terms sometimes used on this forum. Also, I'm not a professional, gigging musician ( I gig occasionnally) and I 'd like to know a little more about the active musician's jargon. I thought of this thread, not only for myself, but for others too. Of course, it's not impossible that I'm the only one who needed it! Your English is great....However "Mein Deutsche ist nicht gut" I took 2 years of German in school 30+ years ago and still remember a bit....Enough to get by when I watch a WWII movie. I would love to speak German much better than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to speak German much better than I do. For someone whose "Deutsch ist nicht gut", you spoke a nice sentence just right there. One term (in english) that was strange at first is "shredder" but I figured out what it meant and guitarNed's lexicon on the first page confirmed it.

In English, you can substitute the word "dork" for "shredder" in most circumstances.For instance, "Steve Vai is a shredder," and "Steve Vai is a dork," are both true statements, and mean essentially the same thing.
