I’m sure we all noticed that this forum highlights some key words in blue and adds an underline. The best examples are product names: Ammo, IShine, TUTH, IG, etc. Also commonly used terms like ONS, LTR, DIHL, OD, etc.
But how about we add some new ones. I’ve used them in my own reports, and I’m sure they’re common enough that they can be added and incorporated into the forum software. My suggestions below are written from a straight man’s point of view, since that’s all I know. But everyone on here, regardless of gender or orientation, is welcome to add their own suggestions.
Term: indicator of respect
Abbreviation: IOR
Meaning/description: This is similar to IOI’s, but is refers to acts of admiration and/or respect, rather than signs romantic or sexual interest. Both men and women can deliver IOR’s, although the distinction is important when coming from women, as not to mistake them for IOI’s. IOR’s may include things like fist bumps, high-fives, compliments, hearty slaps on the back, bro hugs from men, and standard hugs from women.
Etymology: Derived from the existing term “IOI”.
Term: brick wall
Abbreviation: BW
Meaning/description: This refers to a sudden disappearance of hits from someone who was giving them freely earlier. For example, you wear Ammo with P83 and/or P96 to a karaoke. A woman takes an interest in you when you sing, and when you do a duet with her, she’s all over you physically. But later, for whatever reason, she suddenly becomes standoffish. That’s a BW.
Etymology: Adoptive usage of the English idiom “hitting a brick wall”, which refers to suddenly encountering a impassable obstacle after moving along smoothly for some time.
That’s all I have for now. While humor is usually a good thing, let’s keep the suggestions in this thread serious and usable. Please suggest any new terms and abbreviations Androtics should add to its forum software.
