OK I have been on this forum for a couple months and I am still having trouble with some words I see on here.
What do these mean?
Ajumma
Expat
Troll
KTX
I am sure there are loads more but I can't think of them, or find them right now.
Oh and to save you the trouble,
yes, i'm stupid,
yes, I'm a noob,
yes, I've been living under a rock,
thanx. |

This thread is adorable and needs to be made a sticky*.
*sticky= a permanent thread** that "sticks" to the top of the board***
**thread= a series of posts**** on a discussion topic
***board= short for "bulletin board" where web users can leave messages in order to start conversations, express opinons and write ridiculous drunken diatribes
****posts= comments left on a board (see ***) |
