What does "TNLN" mean?
We've seen logged in so many logbooks and on the websites but the kids are nagging me to ask so just "what does it stand for"
I know that the answer will be obvious and I'll slap myself in the forehead for not thinking of it in the 1st place.
Regards Andrew from team "Da Bugs"

G'day Matt,

TFTC = Thanks for the cache.

I've used it a few times, but it's especially popular in Septic-Land (US).

Cheers,

dak

Acronyms are always a puzzler if you don't get them first time.

I spent a while wondering about all of the IMHOs in posts in the forum, until a friend reminded me of my misspent teen years in chat rooms at lunchtime. So many short cuts, smilies and acronyms!!

(BTW- IMHO= In my humble opinion. I always used to type it as IMESHO= In my ever so humble opinion).

A lesser used acronym is ICLFTCIGFOTOSDATRAIHBBBADSBAANOWACILAIHAGKCOTURSOTFASLBAACFOHCDT

Which obviously means - (I Came Looking For This Cache In Good Faith Of The One Star Difficulty And Terrain Rating And I Have Been Bitten By A Dog, Stung By An Angry Nest Of Wasps, Am Covered In Leeches And I Have A Grazed Knee Caused On The Unmentioned Rock Scramble, Only To Find A Sodden Log Book And A Cache Full Of Half Chewed Dog Toys)

Boy was I emabarrassed when I first saw this one and I had to ask the question

I must remember that one

Given my unique talent for getting hurt at anything above a terrain 2, I think parts of that acronym will be very useful for people reading my logs.

Wording of "Da cache" often appeared in the log with photo of cache. Can anyone tell what does "Da" mean

Thanks.

Da = The (Gangster Slang) 

Example: Throw down da knife "Bugsy" or da moll gets it, right between da eyes.
