Ask Angie: Possible glossary?

Archer

Dear Angie
Me again/new. You all use acronyms for styles etc that possibly grew from your own blog. Could you consider posting a list of these for newcomers? e.g. UWP, RATE

In the meantime, I'll take a stab at it:

UWP = Urban Warrior Princess -- coined by Una in this awesome thread from a year or more ago.

RATE = Rough Around the Edges -- another Una invention, possibly begun in this thread .

Some others:

ALGO = A Lot Going On
PPL = Perfect Pants Length

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I know there are more.

I thought PPL was perfect pants length and PPP was patient, practical and picky

Lol, I asked a lot about them my first month too. I think a glossary would be very helpful!

In a lot of forums the glossary is simply a thread like this one, pinned to the top of the list like the welcome thread, and users organically provide the definitions and keep it updated as new lingo develops, linking to the original threads where terms developed or are discussed... It can be a fun way to get to know a forum's history and members

Amy, you're right. I'm just a little dyslexic today!

Good idea, I still get confused.

Dear All
Thanks very much. I get it. On that score then I think the Granny Chic, monogrammed sweater look was, an attempt to look TTC (thrown together chic) that didn't come off.
The welcome is much appreciated. Allison
