Does Anyone Else Have This Problem

[kingmt]

I am trying to learn

what all of these letters mean but I'm not catching on.

Some are easy like RIR I can figure is Road Island Red

but for the most part I'm lost.

Is this explained

anywhere I can refer to each time I get lost?

I'm not certain, but I think there may be an explanation of some of the shortcuts under the FAQ section. Some are breed shortcuts like:
RIR Rhode Island Red
NHR New Hampshire Red
RSL, BSL Red Sex Link, Black Sex Link
SLW, GLW Silver Laced Wyandotte, Gold laced Wyandotte
BR Barred Rock
BO Buff Orpington
OEGB, MGB Old English Game Bird, Modern Game Bird


Others are abbreviations for commonly used words/terms like:
PVS PolyViSol pediatric vitamins used for sick chickens
EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
ACV Apple Cider Vinegar
DE Diatomaceous earth

Others are for people such as:
DH, DW, DD, DS, DM, DF, MIL, FIL, -- Dear: husband, wife, daughter, son, mother, father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, etc.

ETA: forgot an important one: DUW -Dial Up Warning! Means post is picture heavy or may be slow to load on a dialup connection

Thank you.

I'm sure there are LOTS more I've forgotten, but this starter list should help a little bit.

You can't forget the most descriptive term of all:
CBOF=Cantankerous Bag of Feathers=Slifer the Sky Dragon...

What is LF??? I see that sometimes.

 

[Bluemoon420]

Looking For I think is LF

Bluemoon

 

[PotterWatch]

LF is large fowl (meaning standard size, not bantam).

 

[Bluemoon420]

Wasn't even close

I always had problems with abbreviations.
