Sometimes the language on the Forum can get a little confusing. So ask any question or post any suggestions in this post and I will add them to the OP. I'd like to start by introducing a new one.

  • /sarc = sarcastic comment. ie: Folau should play at loosehead. /sarc
  • AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) = Adam Ashley-Cooper
  • AIUA = As I understand it
  • AFAIK = As far as I know.
  • ARC = Australian Rugby Championship. Now defunct
  • CBS = Crouch Bind Scrum
  • CFS = Chris Feauai-Sautia
  • CTPE Crouch touch pause engage (no longer used)
  • CTS = Crouch Touch Set (no longer used)
  • EOYT = End of year tour
  • FWIW = for what it's worth
  • FTA/FTS = Fainga'a twin Anthony/Saia
  • FYI = For your information.
  • GOAT = Greatest Of All Time. Usually used by New Zealand supporters to inflate the mythical skills of one player.
  • Godwins Law = Given enough time, all threads on G&GR will eventually be about Quade Cooper. (there are only 22 laws of rugby)
  • IIRC = if I recall correctly
  • IMHO = In my humble opinion nb: often not humble
  • Law 23 See Godwins Law
  • Link = Ewen McKenzie
  • Meat and Chopsticks = A meat pie (try) next to the goal posts.
  • MMM = Hugh McMeniman
  • NRC = National Rugby Championship
  • OS = Overseas
  • SS = Shute Shield
  • Tom Carter = A measure of playing ability, especially backs. ie: IMHO Folau = 1 Tom Carters /sarc
  • TRC = The Rugby Championship
  • WTF = What the fuck

I won't be adding the second two. I'll think about the first but you have about 99% of them on the forum. I suppose we need to understand wtf you're going on about.

I think adding AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), CFS, FTA and FTS might help some people.

Wannabes - term to describe the Wallabies by new forum members who sign up to post a rant and are generally banned within a few hours.

Link - Ewen McKenzie

Hodor, Hodor's Rule - A character in Game of Thrones who only says one word; Hodor. The theory that within a given number of posts, all threads on G&GR will eventually be about Quade Cooper.

Are RWC and NRC/ARC too obvious? What about ELV?

What about CTPE, then CTS, now CBS? I am sure there will be some more discussion about this once Super rugby starts.

You'll have to help me with the last three.
