Ive been spending quite a bit of time on here and every once and a while i see a word or phrase that makes me wonder...mabye someone here can translate...example,

-zombies?

-bubba?

-pimped? ( have an idea on this one )

-tin foil hat?

-safe queen ( think i have an idea )

thats all that comes to mind at the moment..ill add as i come across more..
 
-zombies?
Walking undead. Destroy the brain to stop. It is important to have a plan in place for the event of a zombie uprising.

-bubba?
Somone who takes stock guns usualy millsurps and modifies them with hacksaws and little skill. A gun that this has been done to is has been "bubba'ed".

-pimped? ( have an idea on this one )
A gun with lots of fancy aftermarket stuff on it.

-tin foil hat?
Used to stop government/alien mind control beams. If someone says someing especialy paranoid they may refer to this.

-safe queen ( think i have an idea )
A gun that does not get shot very often

I'll try my best here, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong:

zombie-imaginery beast that all the tinfoil hatters are preparing for. It's a little game some here play, I think.:confused:

bubba-someone who "sporterises original military stocks, esp. full wood lee enfields. A sporterised lee enfield is commonly called "bubba'd".

pimped-I'm guessing they'd mean a decked out firearm like an AR-15 with all the bells and whistles. It may be referred to as a pimped out AR, etc.

tinfoil hat-Refers to people who think the gov't can read their mind through machines or somethin' and a tinfoil hat prevents that. It has come to mean "someone who is paranoid".

safe queen-A gun that sits in the safe and looks pretty, but never gets used.

I hope this helps. If I'm way off base and none of this is true or makes sense...oh well, s**t happens.:p:D


edit to add: Masterpython, you beat me to the punch, but oh well. :D

Sometimes a picture is easier to understand... WRT "Bubba" or "Bubba'd"

What are some other common ones? As a newbie, here are some abbreviations I've learned from browsing:

EE - Equipment Exchange
EMT - email/electronic money transfer
fudd - old guys that use their guns for hunting but don't really have much interest in firearms beyond that
"boating accident" - the fate of many firearms that face potential banning
 
Here's one that seems to generate some confusion with newbies on the EE

SPF

It means a deal is in the works
and the item is Sold Pending Funds

If you plan on being a member of this site, the first think you MUST do is meet
MIKE FROM CANMORE....

I'm a fudd, Bubba, a tacticool guy, I have pimped a few firearms and been called tinfoil hat many many times. I also have a few safe queens and I'm watching people turn into Zombies more and more every day with this Covid crap.

SPF actually means "I dont know how to update my ad to read PLS REMOVE"

You won this time F.I.F.

But no really if you can understand this sentence your good to go on CGN lingo.

SMH - Shake My head... I had to google this years ago.
IBTL - In Before Thread Lock (used to get a quick comment in before the thread will be deleted for any number of reasons)
YMMV- Your Mileage May Very (here's my experience but yours might differ)

DILLIGAF - Does It Look Like I Give A F@%& (or a very important person on CGN)
 
I like Bubba. I truly do. Imagination is a blessing. But dammit, I wish he would stop 'correcting' perfectly good guns.
