It means "it's the dog's bollocks" or putting it less colloquially "better than OK".mds141 wrote:Ah. I'm still non the wiser though. Acronyms and internet slang aren't my strongest subjects TBH.
Acronyms are fine but I didn't know any of this internet slang before joining BXC and fortunately it's not too widespread here, especially the real strange stuff. But if you want to check it out some more there is always the http://www.urbandictionary.com to refer to.

Re: WANTED Washer Spray Bar
What if your not from an urban area, the last bastion of English? The smiley faces are fun but text speak is just admitting that it is a poor communication device, or that folk a lazy. I find the worst offenders at perverting language into meaningless typographic drivel are the ones who get most upset if I do not understand them, or supply what parts they want.
Example, actually in English of a sort, yesterday
'Im need these gas cable from gas pedal to carburature'
Well I get the gist, but which car, which hand drive. Part number at all? My listing normally have them. Such drivel is not even worth responding to. No doubt that means I am a MOB or some such. However I have not got a shagged car because I cannot communicate.

Re: WANTED Washer Spray Bar
Sorry didn't mean to kick start a conversation on my poorly written English. I'm actually a teacher so I have no excuse for it but I've gotten so use to online forums expecting acronyms to be used that I've learned to just conform.
Re: WANTED Washer Spray Bar
One of the things I like most about BXClub, is the way conversations just flow along and meander in such a fluidic way.
