Implemented Need a dictionary for TB acronyms

[LowNloud1]

I realize that there are a lot of members who are more in tune to the abbreviations but I think it would help forum vocabulary challenged people like me to have a reference somewhaere to see what NBD means or GAS or U (I finally figured that one out) and other similar abbreviations.

Sometimes it just goes beyond my limited capacity to figure it out. Still have no idea what NBD means....Never Been Done? No Bass Damaged? New But Damaged? New Bass Dementia? Not Been Defined?

NBD: New Bass Day
NAD: New Amp Day

There is a thread here somewhere with a long list of acronyms and abbreviations. I don't remember which forum or who the creator was. Maybe in "Miscellaneous".

All those abbreviations ya'll keep asking about.

Which includes what you really want, which is a link to the TB Wiki (which is also in your masthead at the top of the forum page); in the Wiki, go to "Learning Links for All TBers" and down toward the bottom is "TB Slang, Abbreviations, Conventions and Definitions"

Cool! Thank you! Never would have thought to look there....

No problem. This comes up from time to time - they ought to make a sticky of it, maybe in the new member's introductions, rather than burying it at the bottom of the Wiki.

A link to the Learning Links wiki page will be is now included in an email sent to all new TB members. Also added a sticky to the new members intro forum.

I always forget what IIRC means. Or something like that. I'll check that page now.

I checked the TB list of abbreviations and could not find my personal favorite LPS which stands for licks-per-second often used to describe highly skilled soloists (wow did u hear that! His LPS must be off the charts!) Also useful acronym for overplaying
