This thread is for everyone, not just new people and it's meant to serve the simple and possibly enjoyable task of familiarizing people with some of the specific (or not) language found on this site. I am by no means an authority on this, but with help from members this should be decently comprehensive. The format will probably change and the info will grow! so stay tuned and feel free to pitch in...thanks , and if you feel like repping...then who am I to stop you...heehee
(I live in the US so its going to start off biased until I receive some help...just a heads up) I am starting off simple and we will see how the momentum grows
so without further ado.....
