Glossary for frequent abbreviations, etc
« on: August 02, 2015, 10:07:29 AM »
First hour browsing how to navigate toward sly here, and discovering all sorts of in-words that noobs like me don't know. A sticky forum in the for beginners section with definitions of sly lang and abbreviations would be a good thing. :)

God created only a few perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair!

I'm discovering the java popups to Amazon for products, etc, which helps a lot. Hadn't noticed them on first lurk. But things like "DE" for double-edged, etc. Not a big deal, just a thought.

There's always SBG = Sly Bald Guys
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
