Abbreviations... (or Abs. for short!!)
Hellfire - 18/11/03 at 10:07 AM

We've just been trying to workout what many of the abs. are on this site - as there are a few 'quirky' one's
So - what does IIRC mean?
Or is it us being plane thik?

If I Remember Correctly.

The one that I want to know is...

SHUG.

Unless we have some large black African American women on here shortening sugar then it stands for something...

It's that Hugh Paterson fellow...

Come on then Hugh... What is it?


Peteff - 18/11/03 at 10:35 AM

It's Scottish for Hugh, or Scottish Haggis User Group, or some huge ugly guy, or see how U go. He was Rab C's brother or in law wasn't he?. Only joking mate, my brother in law is from Edinburgh and is a great bloke and a coded welder. His names John though and you can't make anything up from that.

yours, Pete.

Not a clue where SHUG comes from, its either a nick name or a see ya later sort of thingy.

speaking of BMs, i saw a lovely manual 6 speed 540 at the auction this morning, rather too new for butchery but still only 2500 on an L plate IIRC... great car but would break the bank in the end with fuel bills.

When I was in the Navy, the nickname for a little hairy scotsman was a FRISP, I'll let someone bolder than me explain that one!


Metal Hippy - 18/11/03 at 07:52 PM
