PP? E? RUGGIE? PPS? --> What they mean

Post by MacandHunter » Fri Jun 22, 2007 7:11 pm

Hey all!

I'v seen a lot of topics asking what PP, E, PPS, etc stands for. To make it easier for new members to find out, I'm going to sticky this one.

For a list of all the herminology, please click on the following link:

Thanks!

Great idea, Mac! Our lingo can sometimes be a little confusing, I suppose. In the link, it labels the little pincher as small pincher (SP). Most of us use little pincher (LP) as the term and a lot of people us (SP?) as spelling. Maybe that should change?
