Newbie needs CurlTalk Definitions
I'm a newbie here and wondered if it might be possible to expand on the Curltalk Definitions. I imagine it's pretty annoying (though they always do it graciously -- thank you!) for some of the more seasoned members to have to constantly explain what certain things stand for to those of us who are new. I primarily participate in the Hair forums so some examples are:
Cones: silicones
Poo: shampoo
Plopping: perhaps a link to the article could be given for this one
CO: conditioner
HG: holy grail
PM: Paul Mitchell
There are more, in fact new ones seem to crop up daily, but I'm blanking right now!
Thanks for your consideration -- and MANY thanks to all those who've helped to put me "in the know"

*Think* I'm 2b/3a; Shoulder blade length, long layers; Med thickness/texture; Brown w/ golden highlights; Shampoo x day; Not sure what I like right now, I'm a mess.

Scrunching = again, maybe a link to an article
Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll have more!

The amount of time from slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is exactly one bananosecond.
I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places. ~ninja dog
I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.
That said, here's a few more to add to the list!
ROTFLOL = rolling on the floor laughing out loud
HTHS = hope that helps someone
Shake & Rake = (a hair-related term I've yet to figure out)
KIT = keep in touch
BRB = be right back (typically used during IM's [Instant Messages] & Chats)
More to come!...
IMO = In My Opinion
TTYL = Talk to ya later
Those aren't much, but just thought I'd add.

You don't know how strong she is until you put her in hot water!
