I'll try to update this thread with lingo/terms that are used on this board. Please feel free to post a question about any term not mentioned or term you think should be included.
BAP = Belvidere Assembly Plant
URL = A URL is any web address.
TL = Team Leader
GL = Group Leader/Supervisor
Avatar = An avatar is any little picture that is used with all posts by a user. Like the little guy on my posts (your left) sitting at the computer.
SPAM = An unwanted ad posted for a product or service for sale.
Thread = A new topic posting
Forum = Means the same as message board
Flame = To get angry and call someone out online with or without vulgar words.
Example: "I've seen turtles that move faster than you do"
AV = Often refers to an anti-virus program
IP Address or just IP = This is a number that shows who your internet service provider is and will trace anything done online back to your account with them. A court order is required by law to get your name from your internet service provider. Every time you visit any website/page on the internet, your IP address is logged by that site. |
