Not being very pooter literate I am having difficulty understanding some of the abbreviations, for example, what does OT mean?

Feeling stupid here in Moncton

Ian Stott

OT = off-topic. WOT = Way off topic, if used in a subject; wide open throttle if used in that context

Some other commonly seen abbreviations: IMHO (in my humble opinion), LOL (laugh out loud), LMAO (laughing my ass off), etc.

Off Topic-OT
No Porsche Content-NPC
Dumb Previous Owner-DPO

Click on FAQ at the top of this page. There is a thread with more abbreviations.


BTW, one abbreviation missing from the FAQ: IIRC (if I recall correctly).

And:

FWIW: For What It's Worth

IMHO: In My Humble Opinion

MMILS: My Mother In Law Says

WTF: What The F*%*&

etc.

MILF =
Oh... sorry, wrong site

Says who?

Teener owners use the "short forms" as their attention spans are very short unless it's Levi's avatars.

SIYE

SUYA

SUYN

KMA

SIYE - Slits Induces Yawning Endlessly

SUYA - Slits Underestimates Young Aaron

SUYN - Slits' Underpowered Yellow NARP

KMA - same to you buddy!

Then of course, there's all the abbr. for FI (fuel injection) components:

MPS - manifold pressure sensor
TPS - throttle position sensor
AAR - auxilary air regulator
CHT - cylinder head temp
CPU - central processing unit, or brain

and I'm sure there's more that I've missed. Takes a while to learn the lingo around here. Especially Miles' lingo!
