With the Members Help I created this Sticky to help new and old members in understanding Abbreviations/Terms/Slang used through-out this Forum.
If you see any not in a list that are used on Koiphen often and have you confused, send me a PM and I will find the meaning and add to the proper list.
Thank You All:clap: , Lee Kinney;)
