We really do try to keep site-specfic words to a minimum and we don't tend to use endless abbreviation, remember, some of us are card carrying pedants!

Some of the words you may find used are
YART
LIU
YCLIU
AYLEUR
ITYIY....

So as not to spoil the fun, you can use the search feature to find out what they mean. Definitions are given below in yellow if you really give up.

Clue: To read yellow writing - highlight it by running your cursor across it whilst holding down your left mouse button, all will become clear.

Definition of LIU:

Definition of Ayleur
Apparently, you can search the archives for this for ever and never find the answer. You can try if you like before reading on ....
OK if you give up...
It comes from a discussion about what we should call ourselves. It was quickly realised that we would never find an answer agreeable to everyone so AYLEU-R was suggested
meaning "Anything You Like Except Unanimous" with the R added to make it into a person. So now you know!
