Means "Parent Over Shoulder" !!!!!

It has to do with how many posts you've done. Here's a thread that explains it.

LAME isn't an acronym, just a little joke. We have actually taken it to mean cool, hip, or whatever you want to substitute for it. Hope that helps. And if you really want to read more about it, check out any of the Have you ever noticed thread in Everyday ChitChat.

Edited because my original post was not very clear.

Thanks for answering all my questions- you guys are nice! I am so addicted to this website in just a short time.

monica_blain · 02-28-2005, 10:24 PM

These are just a couple of others I thought of:
CS = cardstock
LO = layout
US white = ultrasmooth white (cardstock)

That is all I can think of for now!

Close To My Heart
It's a stamp company similar to SU! but IMO not as good.

coloradostampin · 03-22-2005, 01:22 PM

This helped, and I'm so grateful for the thread. But, it took a long time to read, so I compiled most of the acronyms into a database. Happy to email to anyone, or you can view/search/print it yourself from my yahoo group. I'm not sure if you have to join the group to access it or not (stupid yahoo rules, -sigh-, wish I had my own website...) Here's the direct link. If this doesn't work, try the link below my name and look under "database".

I have seen the word/acronym "BUMP" posted...what does this mean?

katiestamper · 03-25-2005, 08:55 PM

It's a way to move the thread to the top of the list. It just means bump it to the top, like KITT.

Princesspansy · 04-02-2005, 05:11 PM

I know this message group was from "so last year"

but I have seen RAK on several different topics and am trying my best to figure it out.... and have come up with ZERO!!

Please help me out. What does RAK mean?

Thanks, Sandra

longtimestamper · 04-02-2005, 05:17 PM

RAK is random act of kindness. It's when you send a card for no special reason (like a swap) and expect nothing in return.

Princesspansy · 04-02-2005, 05:26 PM

Thank you, thankyou

Henrysmom · 04-02-2005, 06:32 PM

Maybe someone did this:

POS - parent over shoulder
PIR - parent in room

Good to know when your kids are on line and are sending a warning to others they're chatting with.

Thanks to both of you. I never would've thought of that.

kmolitor · 04-06-2005, 10:30 AM

Just curious,

what does bump mean? I have seen this in some of the discussion areas and I am baffled.

Thanks,

Kelly

cinny · 04-06-2005, 11:02 AM

How about this one...does anybody have this? I have CRS really bad...in fact, it has gotten so bad at times, that I often have CRA! ("Can't Remember Stuff" and "Can't Remember Anything"!) It gets worse as you get to be my age (not telling)....so you youngsters out there maybe can't relate. You just wait though....your time is coming!!

Sometimes when someone wants a thread to get more time on the home page (more SCS's see it that way) they'll just post a bump. The bumpities are cute too!

jeanstamping2 · 04-14-2005, 12:08 PM

SL =Stamp Lifted!

I've always used this term, Instead of CASED..

POS = parent over shoulder
