How did I end up with such a prestigious title? :D
You forgot one that we thought of just yesterday...
FPP "Filter Pad People". (Those without a bog who are still cleaning filter pads) Not meant as an insult, hope no one takes it that way. Just a little bog humor. ;)

@addy1 ; no, no, no, no; LPS is already taken for LARGER POND SYNDROME!!!! Ya gots ta read da list better, Boss! maybe give it a 'small L' as that fits a lazy person better???? Annnnnd, are YOU taking credit now for 'lPs'???? Feelin' pretty smug about it, too, I bet...!!!:p

btw, can you edit the original to add the 'er' to LARGER as THAT is the whole point! Some have large ponds, this is NOT to antagonize them, after all!!!!

@addy1 ; I got another; NPS. New Pond Syndrome. I'm sure it'll get used a lot in the Newbie forum...


btw, I'll have you know I've been a perfect saint when it comes to MFS; despite the fact TWO of the new ones died within a week of getting them...and don't think I didn't start following the auctions again....sigh. No MFS here, nosiree, no, uh uh, no way. I take the 5th...
