Guest Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hahah thanks Literally this second while turning the laptop on I realised what it was and I thought how stupid of me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Dont worry, I dont think its a particularly well known term, I think when we were all planning them we just got sick of typing it so it was shortened - I cant remember who did that, maybe ANH, she was (and still is) hopelessly WIR obsessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Dont worry, I dont think its a particularly well known term, I think when we were all planning them we just got sick of typing it so it was shortened - I cant remember who did that, maybe ANH, she was (and still is) hopelessly WIR obsessed Next question may be 'what does ANH stand for '? It's surprising when you stop to think how many terms and shorthand are unique to this forum , and VERY embarrassing when you find yourself using it out loud to non forum people. I don't know how many times I've just stopped myself from referring to my OH or announced to a non chook person that Muppet is 'pancaking' or that one of the chooks has done a 'curry sauce' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ANH - Aint "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here - a forum member I've used the term pancaking in general conversation lately - my husband is used to me talking rubbish but friends have been a bit surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 In fact, the term WIR has become so commonly used on this forum, that many have now adopted a new term, namely a 'Tony'. This is a WIR specifically designed and built by a chap called Tony, who runs a specialist Aviary company called Aviaries4U. There's a picture of my 'Tony' in my signature link .

Tutti Frutti Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Maybe there should be a stickie like the Omlet Dictionary but for common terms and TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 There is some generic abbreviations under the 'how to use the forum' section, but maybe you are right and a forum specific list should be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
