OMG etc help needed

[fossyant]

Godammit, can't find the post I wanted. Someone gave an acronym the other day I couldn't translate, I THINK it was SRC-ing but may have got it wrong...

SCR'ing - Silly Commuter Racing !

What about MUFC

. I can only hazard a guess at what the FC stands for

.

FTFY is used, sometimes for surrealism, to change what a poster has written to make nonsense.

Got it. Thanks.

In Surrey where I was born, London where I lived for many years and the west of England where I am now, this is a very popular football team.

In Manchester, many people are still unsure of the meaning (or purpose) of MUFC and have a deep disdain for the colour red.

In truth, the only sporting initials worth anything are AFC. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a fact, although sadly not one supported by the weight of certain trophy cabinets...

Now back to cycling....

Ah, but even in context sometimes you might not know if it's ****, ****, **** or ****.

Doesn't matter. My brain just reads that as "f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k" (if you see what I mean). Whatever the original words were.

The one that got me for ages was YMMV. Then I found it stands for Your Milage May Vary - which left me not much the wiser... I think it means roughly "this is my experience with this product or whatever but you may have different results/experiences".

HTFU is a non-gender-specific version of MTFU.

Nope, I'm still utterly clueless.

Getting there I reckon!

One that got me recently was BTDTGTTS - 'Been there, donethat, got the t-shirt'

I must admit, I don't see the point in replacing F, U, C and K with four asterisks. I don't know about you, but my brain automatically reads "****" as, well, the word it's replacing. Leaving me wondering how long it will be before "****" is a swear word in its own right and therefore subject to censorship.

Indeed one of my guilty pleasures in the xfactor. One of the judges is in the habit of saying stuff like "no freakin way" etc which to me means "no ****in way". It seems acceptable on prime time tv, the mind truly freakin boggles.

Yes, I dont know what they are either.

Im not sure if you 2 are serious or just poking the dog with a stick but ;
BSO = bike shaped object.
A term used by bike snobs to describe people on cheap bikes that dont meet their standards.
(edit - also used by non bike snobs but not with the same unpleasant implications , like black people using the n word)
