psujohn 0 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Seriously, while it's fun to bash people and tell them to use google it's hard to find definitions for a lot of the terms used here. Part of me thinks that there should be a FAQ somewhere. Part of me thinks that before people post they should have to pass a quiz - lurk long enough and you'll find the answers to pretty much all of the above questions and get a better feeling for what this place is like. Stuff like (sw) and FYP is part of the character of this site and not necessarily general poker terms. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Some other frequently used acronyms around here...FWIW = For What It's WorthFYP = For Your PerusalYSAPKY = You Suck At Poker; Kill Yourself Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Man...I like my FYP better. Always came off as more sarcastic and condescending. Link to post Share on other sites
