Swiss Army Knife! Not sure how I missed that one, I carry one all the time in my "EDC". Actually, another member beat you to the punch and sent me a private email. I'd like to give him credit, but since he wrote me privately, he may want anonymity for some reason.

I'd managed to figure out the others from the context as I went along. It was fun in the beginning, like my own little translation of the Rossetta stone... after a while it just wasn't fun anymore. I was trying to focus on what the poster's meaning, and not exactly what he was saying with every word.

Of course there are other issues with some of the terminology... e.g. everyone may not understand what "bug out" means. It has a lot of meaning for all the ex-military types (and for those of us that watched every episode of M*A*S*H when we were younger!), but others might say "what does that mean?" every time they see it.

Of course its possible I'm just being AR (Anal Retentive). <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just thought I might save others a little pain.
