Btw if you haven't noticed the OP edits

Starting with my next post, I'll edit such post whenever another acronym comes to my mind. In my first days in forums, I didn't know what did BTW and OP mean, so I'll list them below because I might not be the only one who didn't know:

. OP: Original Poster, whoever starts a topic, a.k.a. the author

. BTW: By The Way (hell, I read "btw" on a game walkthrough 9 years ago and I didn't know what that meant until 6 months later)

And btw, I also spent many months long ago not knowing what this meant:

. AKA: Also Known As, alias

GTA terminology:

 

  • TLSC - The Los Santos Connection
  • RR - Rooftop Rumble
  • HPC - High Priority Case
  • MC - Motorcycle Club
  • OIV - OpenIV
  • SHIV/SHV - ScripthookIV/ScripthookV
  • FAF - (Further Adventures In) Finance & Felony
  • E&C/E&OC - Executives & (other) Criminals

Anything that can be done for people who are on mobile? I just see the words underlined but when I click it nothing happens. Would be great if it worked on mobile too. Other than that, great idea, this is gonna be very helpful!

Yeaaaaah it looks like Invision didn't think that one through I don't think. Not sure what they were thinking for mobile users there, apologies, we can't control that! :(  Though I think it's the same when many other websites use "hover" over text, guess there's no easy solution for that on mobile.

 

Also to everyone else, as said in the OP we're looking for more game-specific strat terminology and such, not general Internet stuff, game names, mod names, etc. Also, a lot of two-letter acronyms will interfere with other discussions on the forum and other meanings so we will be avoiding adding those. Compromises unfortunately have to be made but it's better than nothing as we already have quite a few! :) I suppose GTAO DLC names could be added.


Some of them you will just have to look into yourself as they're internet slang or conflicting. OP could be Original Poster, OverPowered, etc. etc. that's not quite what we're looking for here atm.

Definitely:

LST -> Los Santos Tuners DLC

LSCM -> LS Car Meet / Los Santos Car Meet


Maybe:

AS -> Auto Shop
EE -> Exotic Exports

Or maybe these instead?

LSAS -> LS Auto Shop / Los Santos Auto Shop
LSEE -> LS Exotic Exports / Los Santos Exotic Exports

 

Ehhhhh:

KDJ -> The artist formerly known as Moodymann (???? honestly a better description would be "the annoying prick with a fro")

Oh right lol, that does make more sense 😛 

And i guess AW is just too common (in a load of words) and LST never really used??

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

USDM = United States Domestic Market

 

I never read USDM anywhere here sure, but JDM keeps getting used in the forum, i always knew it's japanese cars, but never knew exactly what it means spelled out, just googled that.

Yo peeps. TC should stand for The Connection, not whatever this contract thingy is.

 

Or at the very least make NYCC an acronym thing.

Where LLC?

Must take issue with C&C being suggested as an acronym for Cops ‘n Crooks.

 

For every player I know (basically every PC player who was a regular - I was a smaller community in the IV days), it was CnC.

 

In the wider gaming arena, it avoids confusion with the Command & Conquer franchise.
