I have seen a lot of posts saying not to use specific med names. Unfortunately I don't know what half the initials and terms even mean. It also makes the search function difficult to use to find the topics you're interested in. Anyone have a lexicon?

 
wp, jeez, speaking of terminology I had to look up what lexicon meant.

How about this.This seems to work for a lot of people:

x_a_n_a x  or pea kays = pk's - spaces in between letters or the phonetic spelling,

Something that won't show up in a search engine but simple enough for a old geezer like me that doesn't even know what lexicon meant.

I thought it was a car.

 
Ey wyldepixie, if you dont know what an abbreviation means, pm me. I will be happy to help you, fellow non sleeper.

 
Thanks CatintheHat!  You and headbanger are GREAT about answering poor newb's questions.  Alas, I cannot PM yet (I don't think).  I'll keep you in mind for when that function unlocks!

 
I was just coming to this thread to look for an abbreviation key list. I guess there's not one. Because I'm having much difficulty also and really don't want to look real stupid asking  or bothering people all the time. Maybe someone ambitious with time could put one together, to be pinned, or it could be an ongoing group effort of all members to just keep adding on to or inserting into one, or any other idea's.   I guess this would fall in to recommendations to improve the site. Maybe it's just a couple of us though? idk......  

 
I think the whole point of using abbreviations is to avoid "spelling it out" so an abbreviation key would kind of defeat the purpose. If you don't understand something, just pm a senior member. Most are willing to help.

 
yea, I know, and probably so things aren't said right out. Reminds me of texting stuff, I don't get it, I guess I'm to old! /default_mellow.gif

It took me awhile to learn a lot of the abbreviations & some I still srige with for sure. I usually am not much of a texting person bug have picked up a few when I got my IPhone. I was a late bloomer.

Me too Nickiann. I was the last person I knew to even have a smartphone. Still playing catch up

 
Wow, I learned quite a big word today...Lexicon. The closest thing I can think of, and used, is an (acronymfinder) website. It wont get it all, but it has helped me out here and there.

 
I think I understand about sixty percent of them now after reading and reading and seeing them in context. The ones I still don't get I figure probably refer to meds I'm not interested in anyway.

 
I was pretty confused by the code words the first couple of days but over time, I've figured out most of them. Reading reading reading and reading some more really helps!

  1. L @ LW815: Better to push other worse discussions out of sight IMO and see random sport shit, but also kinda makes it hard to have that content removed if need be. I don’t know how to view the entire shoutbox recent history but I know it’s possible lol so it’s both a good and bad thing tbh
  2. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: exactly
  3. L @ LW815: I agree @Ketmaster but their lengthy sport discussions usually tend to happen at convenient times, like when somebody is talking about or asking things that the shoutbox also isn’t meant for(that are worse than random sport talks)
  4. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I appreciate the good vibes but I agree sports stuff should like be in a thread or PM or something, not a sports guy so it is kinda like wtf is happening people are messaging each other in a shoutbox
  5. T @ timyboy: Where is the guy with the BTC predictions?
  6. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  7. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  9. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
  10. F @ frankie dicks: need my medication for tdh vyvance
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: I don’t think we’ll be in prime time again anytime soon 😂
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: What a horrific game @tiquanunderwood seeiously embarrassing. Defense did their job Bryce the offense and Canales play calling has been atrocious
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain legoooo panthers babbyyyyy
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Congrats!!! @tiquanunderwood 5 in a row to climb back into it is amazing… and @MCAJB6122 I agree 💯did not see that coming. Can’t recall the last time there was this much parity across the league it’s insane
  15. M @ MCAJB6122: Chicago at 8-3 has to be the surprise of the season so far
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Tied for 1st in the North! Chicago beat Pitt. Leggooo
  17. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain yeah we look ugly on offense. but hopefully we continue to pull it out. Me too man Go Panthers !
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood good luck today against gang green buddy…can’t wait for MNF
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Hope everyone enjoys football sunday!
  20. M @ Mammasboi123: Thanks @MGAJB6122. I think for future reference, everyone should get in the habit of using the “report” button found on the bottom left of the top comment in threads like the ones mentioned in order to flag threads like this. I’d imagine it’s easier on @Admin than having to check the shout box every day or so.
