I have been an active poster for a few months now, and there are times when I have no idea what a term means.  For example, what does XP mean? 

I propose that we develop a glossary.  I will start with a couple of terms that I do know:

- OT:  off topic
- Swinging lizards: sending prayers, thoughts and/or good vibes

Okay, your turn.  Either post a question or a definition.

Thanks!
Amy

i think XP means Cross Post, where the same post is placed in more than one forum or group.
NSV is non-scale victory.
DH, DD, DS, DW, DGD, etc are dear husband, daughter, son, wife, etc.
