Now I don't feel so bad about a dumb question. This is the only place I know where I can talk about AGs without seeing eyes roll up.

Neil, "Knowledge is Power". Someone once said the only "dumb question" is the one you don't ask. Enjoy the list - and it is a work in progress; so check back occasionally.

Thanks, George. I have added your suggestion.

Thank you, Dave (ezman604), for the latest addition. The list is current at the original post.

Thanks for keeping up the list Mike. I wish there was something like this when I first joined.

ETA: Just thought of one. FT could also mean "Flat top" (piston).

Suggestions added - thanks Jerry. After being a teacher (English and other subjects), I saw students struggle with our American language. I figured this list would benefit me and decided to publish it here. I am proud and honored that you find it useful. I do too.

Since you have CCP (Concealed Carry Permit) on the list, it probably makes sense to add CCW (Carrying a Concealed Weapon).

Bicycleman · « **Reply #73 on:** September 22, 2015, 12:05:34 PM »

Makes sense to me too. Thanks Larry - CCW added.

You should probably also add EDC (Every Day Carry), which can apply to either handguns or knives (and probably other stuff as well but those are the most common applications).

No, I'm not trying to increase my post count, I just didn't think of this when I posted previously.

Bicycleman · « **Reply #75 on:** September 24, 2015, 03:39:23 PM »

And the list continues to grow. Thanks all for your help.

Bicycleman · « **Reply #76 on:** October 07, 2015, 09:23:27 PM »

Thank you Don (sfttailrdr46) for your addition ---> SWMBO <--- and that is how it works in this house.

Great list! A couple from some other forums in other fields of interest to suggest:

WMWW = World's most wonderful woman (wife)
#8 = Buying a cheap gun and then spending money on it modding it and then claiming it's as good, or better, than the expensive gun you couldn't afford.

Bicycleman · « **Reply #78 on:** November 15, 2015, 11:06:11 AM »

Thanks, Glen, and your suggestions are now part of the list.

Thanks Joe. The acronym, N.U.A.H. has been added.

Thank you to our advertisers!
