This is an interesting thread. The POS has really stumped me. Now I know!

One that I have used and asked the meaning of a couple times now is SOB is "scroll on by" I LOL thinking what some may think it means.

For the longest time, I too, was clueless about "MOO" LOL I asked in a post once and got no answer-eventually I figured it out myself! Been mooing

ever since. LOL

hi tenaj23... and welcome!!! just a guess but prob. to differentiate b/w casey and her mom and daughter. having too many CA's in this forum would make reading very confusing. i couldn't figure it out either when i started reading about the case here (i was a late-comer to the caylee case)... but i asked tricia and she cleared it up. KC sounds like "casey". it was a brilliant solution and whoever came up with it... ::high five::

OMG LOLROF

I truly needed that laugh.

IMO & it's MOO its BARD KC's guilty KWIM

I just can't write this way. I type pretty fast so I don't mind spelling out what I mean. Is there a rule against this?

You are not alone. I don't know where the "parking lot" is either.

THANK-YOU!!!! I found the answer to my own question about the location of the parking lot,by just nosing around.Loved the thread on "Lingo",as I told you all I am EC/electronically challenged!!

I noticed a couple of other posts asking about this and had wondered myself - why is Tony L sometimes referred to as TonE? It's kind of hard to search on it but what little I found seemed to indicate that he referred to himself as "TonE" instead of "Tony" on his MySpace. Is that it? Took me the longest time to figure out who was being talked about there.

Yes, because his myspace name was TonE when this all started, so everyone just started calling him that until it got more formal and initialed around here.

So whenever you're reading TL, tony and TonE is all the same person.

I always thought moo was "my opinion only". Well either way it had to do with an opnion and it works right? lol

Another came up:

TH = Talking Heads (people on national media shows brought there to argue positions).
