GTP TLAs explained (two / three letter acronyms)

[Loon]

And also, OMG is Oh My Goodness, not Oh My God as some will say, that would be blasphemous.

I'm pretty sure you'd be overruled there.

 

[Wolfe]

The "z" is usually uncapitalized, like "zOMG," because it doesn't stand for anything. Though "zomg" is fine too.

 

[Smallhorses]

PITA = Pain In The Arse.

Used reasonably frequently in the WRS threads to describe car/track combos or handling characteristics.

e.g. "The understeer of the ___________ at the exit of the 2nd hairpin on __________ is a major PITA!"

(Insert car/track names as appropriate! )

.....RROD (Red Ring Of Death) are a must!

You've been out for a Vindaloo again recently then?

Incredible, only 49 posts and already the moderators had to step in 3 times to point out people to stick to the 'rules' mentioned in post #1.

Really is it that difficult to read, don't they teach this in school anymore or do you just not care.

Here's a nice addition: DUBBCP - dont use brain but can post

AMG.

LOL. LOL. LOL. How True.

YLOD - Yellow Light Of Death
DLC - Downloadable Content
TCv - Tuner Challenge version (insert #)
SRC - Spot Race Challenge
EYS - Enhance Your Skills
GTPSP - Gran Turismo for PSP

Then we can go with the garage acronyms:
MFT - Mad Finn Tuners
RVV - Rotary VtiRoj Vince24/7
GME - Grease Monkey Engineering
AMMT - Austra-Manx Motorsport Tuning
RZA - Red Zone Autoworks
ETZ - Esattezza Motorsports
TLD - The Lions Den

I hope they are worthy additions to your list AMG. 👍

Psssst, it's technically RotaryJunkie VTiRoj Vince247/RVV.

 

[mafia_boy]

Ive added a couple, some (arguably) are limited to very narrow sections of GTP. I have therefore made an executive decision not to include them (as yet).
Thx for showing an interest though! Much appreciated.

MFT - Mad Finn Tuners
RVV - Rotary VtiRoj Vince24/7
GME - Grease Monkey Engineering
AMMT - Austra-Manx Motorsport Tuning
RZA - Red Zone Autoworks

See #54.

Psst, You forgot DUG too. My nearly defunct garage.

 

[mafia_boy]

I'm glad atleast a couple of them got it. 👍 As for the garages (re: post #54), I must've dozed when reading that post, sorry. I wouldn't have done all the garages then otherwise.

GTFO!! I did not know that!

 

[axletramp]

I see DF and DFP are listed but not DFGT (Driving Force GT)? A small one, but it is used here regularly.

 

[Coxis]

There is a very important one missing... PP - Performance Points.

When did this the\read \ get revived? What does WTR mean while I'm on topic?

Or IIRL?

I'm sorry for my ignorance.......wait....no I'm not. I'm just not fully adjusted to this Internet business. LUL

 

[TB]

When did this the\read \ get revived?

When tankuroded bumped it.

 

[DG_Silva]

wtr = whatever, or what the rhinoceros? (more socially acceptable version of WTF)

MLPRG - My Little Pony Resistance Group (/maI/ /"lItl=/ /"poUni/ /ɹɪˈzɪstəns/ /ɡɹuːp/)
Group against the children's TV show: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Started as a joke, became serious and completely flopped. (The Steam group has a better name, T.R.A.P - The Resistance against Ponies )

Tree'd - (don't think it's been added yet) GTPlanet's equivalent of ninja'd.

When the 'Christmas Tree' at the dragstrip lights up and the other guy leaves the line first - you are 'treed'.

Likewise in posting.

tl:dr - Too Long; Didn't read. Posted by lazy people after someone else posted a long worded paragraph (usually rants about Chicken/Sausages/falling down stairs )

 

[Skython]

Daniel, to your post I say... TL;DR!

 

[Guardian]

OP - Opening Post

FGT - Formula Gran Turismo

And in English?

 

[tfed]

I thought "text speak" wasnt allowed in the forum?

 

[Skython]

^I think it's only when people start saying this:

u ^ 2 da Nurburg0 2nyt that it really gets bad. 10 points to anyone who can correctly translate that to English!!!

And in English?

This could be of help to you.

 

[Daniel]

You up two four for Nürburgring tonight?

 

[Skython]

Very close, veeery close, the first two, and Nürburgring tonight are right.

 

[Ross]

Are you up to the Nurburgring tonight?
