Autoshite lexicon

[Craig the Princess]

Could anyone please tell me wot EFA means?

 

Edited For Accuracy, usually used to edit for comic effect

[HMC]

EFA

edited for accuracy. Only figured this one out last week!

 

OMGsnowchaos!!!

 

Pretty self explanatory but can be applied as a template to any scenario where the general public panic disproportionately. Also refer to Daily Mail for subject matter.

[Shep Shepherd]

One I invented recently, when I was driving home from work on the A13:

 

Bavaritard -  the typical British buyer/owner/driver of a new or nearly BMW or Audi. A portmanteau of Bavaria and retard. Also applies to MINI buyers/owners/drivers by association.

[Mr Livered]

What about LHM? As in, "I've done LHM changes".

[Timewaster]

Liquid huile mineral. The Green life force of hydraulic Citroëns

[Mr Livered]

Aha, so not really Autoshite lexicon, strictly speaking. Cheers.

[hauserplenty]

+1. Added to the list...

[Lankytim]

LHM AKA VULCAN SPUNK.

BNP8DTK:

 

Time for another update, perhaps? Could anyone please define the following:

 

AICMFP

 

SWMBO

 

...as well as suggest any others for possible inclusion? I need your help to keep up with the constantly evolving* verbiage on here.

 

Oh, and, p.s.:

[Junkman]

AICMFP = And I claim my five pounds. After newspaper competitions, such as Lobby Lud, where readers were offered money for spotting a certain figure in public and accosting him with a passphrase. For example, "You are Lobby Lud, and I claim my five pounds."

 

SWMBO = She who must be obeyed, i.e. one's better half.

 

 

Both are not specific to Autoshite, they are generic internet speak.

[Skizzer]

We probably also need to add SVM, for Scottish Volvo Massive.  Is there an official definition, chaps?  Preferably involving the phrase 'like William Wallace but with safety bumpers'.

[simmo]

More work than shite related.

 

POETS day is widely known

 

WFH = Working From Home

 

TWAT = Someone who only works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

[HH-R]

Some of the lexicon was truly hilarious as it unfolded, examples include: D701SWL, Hammer a smaller socket over it and those white moccasins!

 

One to add:

 

Chrysler PT Cruiser: A car too shit even for Autoshite*

*I actually don't mind them

[hauserplenty]

Thank you Junkman...

Duly noted. And updated.

MOAR PLZ

TWAT = Someone who only works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

CUNT = Cunningly Useful, Never Tiresome

[hauserplenty]

I'm afraid those last two shall have to remain apocryphal. Mustn't be vulgar purely for its own sake, damn it.

 

Can anyone supply the meaning of FTFY??

[skattrd]

FTFY = FIxed that for you .... usually used after editing someone's post for comedic effect (see EFA)

[PiperCub]

Is that like FIAT ?  Fix It Again Tomorrow

 

Sorry Fiat fans, couldn't resist!

We probably also need to add SVM, for Scottish Volvo Massive. Is there an official definition, chaps? Preferably involving the phrase 'like William Wallace but with safety bumpers'.

The Scotoshite Volvo Massive is like the A-team and the Dogs Trust rolled into one, with a side order of square sausage. Or something.

 

SVM: RUBBING OUR THIGHS ABOUT VOLVOS SINCE A WHILE AGO

[DS20]

Mmm, square sausage...I miss square sausage

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Andy, you forgot the egg. Always egg.

 

I think if you live in Scotland and drive a Volvo that was designed using only a ruler then that's yer SVM!

[rml2345]

SVM membership is earned in the tireless pursuit of the three key pillars of DA_MASSIV. They are egg, Volvos, Approved things, sausages with Volvo shaped corners and egg.

[Albert Ross]

And bread in waxed paper?

[LC Torana]

Could someone explain "WBOD" please?

[RichardK]

Would Bridge On Demand?
White Boys Over Dose?
Wet Blondes Often Dog?

[Matt]

Winter Beater of Death which i thought was odd seeing as our climate is basically just 'meh' all year round.

[Junkman]

It's actually Winter Beater of Distinction. A wreck bought for a few hundred quid in Autumn, with its last ever MoT expiring in Spring the following year.

Extra WBoD Points if it is a low slung powerful RWD and/or a floppytop of questionable reliability in cold wet weather, so Italian definitely a bonus.

I think last year's WBoDOTY award went to Ed (newkidontheblock, I miss him) for buying a shonky RX7 cabriolet, which promptly grenaded.

This year he played it safe* and bought a 200 quid Subaru Impreza that apparently ground its cylinders oval at the bottom, going by the oil consumption.

[LC Torana]

I see, a sacrificial rotter for your salt roads.  Sensible!

[Junkman]

Yeah, because his other car is a Daimler, which, as you know, enthusiastically react with salt.

[twosmoke300]

Didn't someone here buy a triumph stag as a wbod? Well played
