Where can I find a list of current y2k acronyms used on this forum?

Thanks.

Beats me, but the two "new" ones are GI and DGI for "Get It" (one who believes that Y2K problems are real) and "Doesn't Get It," which seems to be replacing "Polly" (Pollyanna -- one who ignores all problems).

That's my understanding, anyway. I'm sure someone will correct me. (:

And, there is DWGI, for "Doesn't Want to Get It."

You probably know about BITR ("Bump In The Road") and TEOTWAWKI, but may not recognize TSHTF ("The Sh*t Hits The Fan").

Try looking in the archives under "Y2K For Newcomers (New)". Read the thread "Deciphering the jargon: troll, OT, TEOTWAWKI, etc.". It may serve as a jumping-off point, at least.

>> "A year to shut down." <<

Clever. But you're a'spoutin' anagrams when the question asked for acronyms.

"Klinton's plan is simple. He will turn out the power in NYC when the ball drops. Then declare martial law to stop the riots. Special UN troops will spread across the country burning and looting in each time zone as the hour passes and the lights are turned off. By Saturday noon, it will all be over.

Better be ready for the resistance movement."

"Check www.garynorth.com under martial law. Klinton is ready to make his move using Y2K chaos as cover to impose UN control over America. Its guaranteed this was all predicted in the BIBLE and now it comes to pass!

Klinton has ruined this country over past 8 years. Economically and socially the country is in tatters and depression, never has this country been in worser shape than now. No one can get a job, immorality and vice and drugs are everywhere. Klinton destroyed our armed forces, he even gave the atom bomb to Red China! And he did NOTHING about Y2K! Why? Because Y2K chaos is his chance to take over the country! Everyone knows this but no one did anything to stop him! Now Klinton, along with liberals and Jewish anti-Christian media are ready to make their move. Check out sightings. Check out troop movements of UN and NWO forces throughout the country. In San Diego they are building concentration camps. I saw them myself! UN vehichles are being stored in Texas. NATO troops have been sited in Modesto, making their move. Check our gary north for the details. And in 5 weeks the Y2K bug will devaste this country like nothing ever before giving perfect chance for,Klinton and Jewish liberals to make their move and enslave America and patriats. It has finally come to this.

Get your guns, your beans and your Bibles out. When UN and NATO troops make their move be prepared to resist their satantic push for world domination. Ferret out all non-christian traitors. Lock and load, and close ranks!"
