Someone explain the ATOT Jargon to me

[Scrooge2]

I've been on AT for a while now and recently unfamilar words are poping up that no on needs to explain and everyone seems to know. Such as:

Jrun,
YACT,
YAABMT,
and all sorts of variations with Y's and A's

Someone explain to someone unconnected with the new "hip" modern world?

 

[waggy]

jrun=crappy error message we get every now and then
yact=yet another car thread
not sure on the yaabmt..maybe yet another asshole bites my toe?

 

[Anubis]

Jrun server error

YACT = Yet Another Car Thread

 

[PingSpike]

YA---T
Yet Another <something> Thread

Jrun is an error the new forums come up with.

 

[Koing]

JRun = It is a Java run time problem I think that was shafting AT.
YACT = Yet Another Car Thread
YAABMT = Yet Another and don't know the rest of that one...
YAGT = Yet Another Girlfriend Thread
YAET = Yet Another Ebay Thread

etc.

i know what WTF means, but what the hell does "BBQ" or "WATERMELON" mean when it's attached to it?

 

[Scrooge2]

what? that cat thing is definately NOT a real error message. I've never seen any JRun errors beore.

What the heck? Did I miss a big forum where we sat down and voted which new words to incorporate into our vocabulary? Everyone else seems to know but me

OMGKTHXFRYTHS!! You guys are so WTFBBEWATERMELLON!!!! I can't believe these LAPWNC are posting this is so FOTMLW.

STFU N00B! You don't know acronym-fu. Example of real acronyn-fu:

A TLA is a a TLA with makes it an RTLA with is an FLA which is a TLA. *head pop*




Many jargon words are just made up on the spot or are parodies of other words/terms.

Sixteen hours after deciding to end it all and writing the note, I realized that my plan for a slow but painless suicide by masturbation was not working.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love that!
