10@10 club Glossary

Yo, can somebody make this thread sticky (always at the top)?  Is that possible with phpBB?  And what does ETA mean?  (The reason I searched for this thread in the first place.)

Thanks!

Have we been using ETA here in an in-joke way?  In normal parlance it's "estimated time of arrival."

ETA: Oh, whoops!  I forgot!  ETA = "Edited to Add," for when we go back and modify posts to fix errors or add further info.  I think that's general msg-board lingo, not 10@10-ism.

Good idea on the sticky thing.

A new acronym for you all:

Comedian Demetri Martin (of Daily Show fame), who was being interviewed on NPR: "I never write LOL in e-mails. I write LQTM -- laughing quietly to myself. It's more honest."

LQTM!

as mentioned elsewhere, it bears pointing out that we are prone to award BOS votes to songs based on rarity.  Hence BOSFRA = Best Of Set For Rarity Alone.  (first coined, I believe, by Mike).

I guess I missed that one "in the wild."

To add (or not):

OHW = One-Hit Wonder

TOTHK = alt. spelling of TOTHC

OMG = Spinners, "(They Just Can't Stop It The) Games People Play"
OMFG = Spinners, "Love Don't Love Nobody"
OMGWTF = Spinners, "Love or Leave"
OMGWTFLOL = Spinners, "Sadie"

Here's one that's come up in the past week from both Gaz & me: ATBB (Across-the-board bustout).

I notice that the definition  of Narada is for a song we don't remember hearing at the time.  For me, the song "Worlds Away" by Strange Advance is a song I remember clearly hearing a lot when it was out, but now only hear it in the 10@10 context.  I don't think it's the same as a sledgehammer either.  Have you denizens of the hip lingo come up with a term for this kind of song?

I'd call it an MT -- Mind Tickler. (recently, Blotto's "I wanna Be a Lifeguard", which Rob and only Rob has played, would be a MT for me)  But I'm open to other suggestions.

[RGMike]

I'd like to add NTM -- New to Me, an expression we use quite often.

Back from Texas just now.  Somebody remind me what TANC means?  I always end up looking it up and I'm too tired to do so now.  Thanks.

I'm offically adding Y&S, for "Yeesh & Sheesh", a phrase i find myself using all too often in exasperation at the predictability/Classic rock meatheadedness of Drive and Sound 10@10s.

ooookaaaaay, but I might think you're talking about Yarnell & Shields, which is how I refer to those two.
