Here's a little ditty from our good friend Dickson....

I drank a bit too much coffee last night, and sat up thinking about all the stuff I've learned on the VMF. On top of all the mustang knowledge, I now occasionally find myself lapsing into "VMF speak" in other emails.

After a while here, most of us pick up some recurring phrases or acronyms. For example:

PITA / PIMA

IIRC

IMHO

BFH

LOL

ROTFLMAO

*G*

and of course ,SWMBO... which seems to stump most newbies.

But think of all the time we could save with the following:

NAE - non-arguable edict

LAMO - ladies anti-mustang operative

PP - pony pass (free mustang day)

WORM - without residual malice

QTWF - quality time with family

MRPs - mustang-related pals

ELOHDs- enormous list of honey-do's

ROEGOT- rolling of eyes, gnashing of teeth

for example, a sample post:

"What a LAMO my wife can be! I was really looking forward to a PP WORM to go to the show with my MRPs, but SWMBO said no. After much ROEGOT her NAE was that I had an ELOHDs and needed some QTWF."

What do you think? (I think I have too much time, and excessive access to caffeine)

Remember also, that in mustang speak:

"Help" = assistance kids give that make tasks take twice as long.

"Saved Money" = NPD has a 2 for 1 sale on carbs, so I bought 3 !!!

"It's a quick flip car" = will be sold after 27 months of effort, at a loss.

"rust free" = rust hidden

"90% done" = 70% of parts there - unlabeled & unassembled

"working on our taxes" = posting on the VMF

Pity on those newbies who dip a toe into the VMF without an idea of what a "K" code car is, what SCJ means, etc...... Dickson
