Glossary For Forum Abbreviations

[Arpeggio]

Would be cool if there was a glossary in alphabetic order somewhere here for readers to refer to when they see things like ZIRP, NIMBY, BOMAD, RM etc. I don't know what RM is, just seen it.

RightMove?

I keep seeing 'TBTP' and I don't know what it means.

[XswampyX]

TPTB? The Powers That Be.

^ Thanks swampy! (Trust me to get that one mixed up)

You've found yourself a job.

I think the right sub-forum is probably About housepricecrash as I don't think you're going to get much joy out of the commercial operators on this one. Here's an old list to get you started. BTW this 'issue' comes up time and again IIRC. IMHO if you can't work them out from the context, you'll struggle to follow the multi-threaded haphazard conversation anyway. FWIW anything google can't sort out for you, you can probably ignore.

[Frank Hovis]

Yes, like the mumsnet list.

Most if them are in this thread but it's been running for five years so is a bit disjointed:
