A key to the Acronyms please

Paul 1300

Please forgive me, but I am struggling to understand all of the acronyms
I think PTS is pre-title sequence but not sure
and whilst I see the need for the film titles, I find myself trying to work them out I dare say I'll get used to it, but it would be handy to have a glossary

It took me a long while to understand LOL did not mean "Lots of love" and I just though people were being over friendly
I still don't understand what PMSL or BTW mean
I am 48 and am not cool and down with the kids just ask my kids

Hope that helps!

Thank you Barbel
and PTS is pre-title sequence ?

Paul 1300

Just read the Link Thanks Barbel

minigeff

Yep, PTS is Pre Titles Sequence

BTW - By the way
PMSL - Pissing my self laughing

I often abbreviate members' names, so Gadget Meister becomes GM, Donald Grant becomes DG and Thunderpussy would be TP.

Another one is SA for Screen Accurate when discussing prop and clothing.

STFU is Shut The Foofoo Up, used rarely

The producers can also be referred to ask Babs and Mike.

Oh and just to add some more into the mix, we can also have nicknames. PPW 306R is known as donk, Teppo can be sometimes called Mandy and I often get called Singe.

Hope ya taking notes! )

Welcome to AJB BTW, MYAH (make yourself at home) -{

We're missing a popular one used in the (US) military ... TLA = Three Letter Acronym.

GNDN is my favourite;

"Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing" ) used on the set of early Star trek films on pipes etc in the Enterprise corridors.

Was actually used on the original series, and subsequent series.

That don't look like a Jefferies tube to me!

Barbel

Tell me that's photoshopped... tell me they didn't really make The Shat hold a prop shaped like that...

minigeff

I guess with a name like 'The Shat', anything could happen
