Abreviation that we use around here hard on us newbies

[cougarmandan]

There is a ton of abreviations that I am having to learn here. I was curious it we could start a thread and explain them all (or is there one already?)

Some of these I pick up instantly, other I am still working on. The ones I have got down so far are:
CV = Crown Victoria
CVPI = Crown Vic Police Interceptor
DTA = Dark Torador Red
300A = gotch ya, I don't have a clue yet, but I will, oh yes, I will
MM = Mercury Marauder
does that make MC = Mercury Cougar
WOT = Wide Open Throtle
S-55 = Prototype MM that had S-55 badges, dates back to the 60's race only version of the Marauder that was denoted as an S-55
GH = God's Head (Mercuy is the god of speed in Greek Mythology)
HS = heated seats

[merc6]

300A 300B and decontented 300B are basicly difrent packages for the vehicle depending on the year. 300A is like 03 with full size spare,tint strip, power gas lid, crown vic clock on dash, map pockets on front of seats, and a great chance it came in black.

[dwasson]

WWKMD= What Would Keith Moon Do? (Most of the time it means get liquored up and drive a car into swimming pool.)

[Haggis]

[MM03MOK]

DTA = Dark Torador Red
DTR = Dark Toreador Red

GM = Grand Marquis (as opposed to General Motors)
OTOH - On The Other Hand

FWIW = For What It's Worth

Great idea!

IMHO= In My Honest Opinion
BTW= By The Way
GM= Grand Marquis
TC= Town Car, Traction control, or Torque converter

I think that pretty much lists most of the ones I have figured out and a few that were mysteries. The Sergnt (MAC) uses one occassionally that has mystified me for some time. I have not been able to find it. As I recall it starts with an ROF perhaps and is long and intrigueing. Any help out there. I am dying to find out this one based on the way it has been used.

[Donny Carlson]

It saysd "R.C.H is undefined."

No, for some reason it doesn't see the last period "R.C.H." i.e. it thinks you want a definition for "R.C.H"

Clicky here:http://www.urbandictionary.com/browse.php?character=R&page=2 and looky down the list for the linky.

Heh heh... I did get the last two right after all, but I was totally off on the first initial. I was actually afraid it'd be something like "Raccoon", which would have made it OH SO WRONG.
