Acronyms

I'm not new to rv'ing, just new to RV forums. For others like me, maybe there should be a list of all the three letter acronyms with definitions used on these forums. Most I think I have figured out, but one in particular has me stumped. WTH is an SOB? I read many threads where a former SOB has been mentioned. Is this some kind of code a single or divorced person is using??? :rolleyes: Don't know if this is the appropriate sub-forum for this question, but if not I'm sure someone will move it for me. Maybe FAQ's would be a better fit.

Thank you. I will sleep better tonight now, knowing that. Sometimes it's the little things that keep a guy awake at night...

there is a list of RV Terms in the wiki that includes other common terms but it is far from an exhaustive list: //heartlandowners.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=RV_Glossary

My suggestion is stop using acronyms as we have RV ers from different backgrounds and countries.Just think about it for a few moments and put yourselves in their shoes before you us an acronym.

I totally agree. I have always hated acronyms, spell it out.

BobX2,

I had that same question, here is my post from 11/2013 after joining the forum in Dec of 2012...

"SOB, with upgrade coming"
In following this thread I just had my blonde moment for the day... (sorry ladies) I always thought SOB was a Heartland brand like a Silverado or Sundance model, it's gotta mean Some Other Brand??? cuz I'm sure it's not the other SOB. I wish my girls were still at home to help me with this text talk!!!


It only took me a year to figure that one out!!!

I had to google DW, in context I knew it was spouse, couldn't figure out what the "D" stood for... yes Helen is a dear!!!

I was on Facebook and saw several pictures by different people with TBT in the title. I finally asked what does it mean!!!! It's "throw back thursday" !

I knew that TBD was "to be determined", but the TBT was a new one. It's hard to stay hip !!! LOL !!!
