Period. 1337964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The forum has a lot of fun creating terms. &nbsp;I feel like they were collected somewhere once, but I'm not sure where! Inge will probably pop in and have you sorted out in two seconds. &nbsp;But, for now:&nbsp;</p> <p>RATE = Rough Around the Edges</p> <p>Half-tuck = what you see many of us sporting where we've partially tucked in part of our shirt, but let the rest hang loose.&nbsp;</p> <p>MOTG = Mom on the Go</p> <p>Killer = high praise. &nbsp;</p> <p>Killer to the Power of Killer = the very best. &nbsp;You've just won the fashion Superbowl!&nbsp;</p> <p>Do a little search for what does (term) mean and you'll usually come up with an answer. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-of-the-terms-used-on-the-forum#post-1337959 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 19:12:25 +0000 Stephanie 1337959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my first official post;</p> <p>been spending my probation reading many of the postings here, and am confused by some of the terms; such as</p> <p>RATE?<br />half tuck?<br />i thought MOTG was Mother Of The Groom, but figured out it means Mother On The Go<br />i need to lean more about layering; clothes, not hair<br />i take it KILLER is good</p> <p>hope you aren't laughing too hard at me</p> <p>Stephanie</p>
