I think the Forum needs a glossary. It took me forever to figure out what WOT meant.

FWIW, a glossary is not a bad idea, IMHO. From various threads I have come across:
WOT = 'Wide open throttle' ???
TDC = 'Top dead center' regarding the flywheel position while setting ignition timing???
There must be a couple of others that are commonly used I am missing.Tartan 27 #328 owner born 1958

Should we disclose what they represent or let the guessing percolate for a while?
PO, OP, OPSS, ABYC, JOSO, RWC, FWC, MMI, MMO, EI
and two of my personal faves, DFH and BWIWITBBI.
Okay, here are the last two:
DFH = Divorce from Hell
BWIWITBBI = Back when I was in the boat building industryLast edited by ndutton; 08-13-2011, 01:32 PM.Neil

Acronyms
The problem with acronyms is they can have multiple meanings.
YMMV, can also mean 'you make me vomit'
How is Don't Ask Me How I Know This abbreviated? DAMHIKT stands for Don't Ask Me How I Know This. DAMHIKT is defined as Don't Ask Me How I Know This somewhat frequently.
SWMBO could be a 'single white male body odor' but that is not what we usually mean by it.Tartan 27 #328 owner born 1958

The only place I've seen it is on the Yahoo Catalina 30 forum, believe it's unique to them like the UHS or MMO is here.

I like this thread...it's funny.
I hope someday Don will compile a book with all the advice members have made on different problems of the A4, and how to fix them… I would buy one in a heart beat. I have learned so much about the A4 over the past year from members. This forum is akin to having a private work shop with hundreds of expert mechanics. This forum, and it’s members are the only source of advice I trust when it comes to my A4.
