+salz69 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I'm new to this- I like it alot, but the logs are filled with "geo-breviations"- is there a place where you can find the "rosetta stone". I can figure out FTF, but what the heck are things like TNLNSLTFTC? Quote
+v-hunter Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Took nothing, Left nothing, Signed log, Thanks for the cache. Quote
moozehead2020 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Try the Geocaching Glossary: http://www.geocaching.com/about/glossary.aspx Quote
+OEnavigators Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Theres another good lexicon compiled by Prime Suspect about geocaching terminology. geospeak Quote
+x_Marks_the_spot Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Every time the geolex link comes up I worry someone will read about Pirates and decide that it's time for a Piracy Reprise. There's already one cache around our neck of the woods that appears to have been Pirated. So remember: Geo-Piracy isn't cool! Quote

So remember: Geo-Piracy isn't cool! this is the first I've heard of "pirates"- if it weren't for stealing, ransoming or destroying them it wouldn't sound so bad- just like turning it into a multi-cache (by leaving a "just moved to...." note) -yes or no? am I way off base?

Uberquandary Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I heard of piracy from the person who introduced me to caching, and not once since then. He was from St Louis so maybe it's a midwest/south thing? Quote

He was from St Louis so maybe it's a midwest/south thing? Hey! I'm originally from just east of St. Louis- what are you tryin' to say! but seriously, I'd think that Non-geocachers (muggles) are more of a threat, stumbling on poorly hidden caches- yes or no?

Uberquandary Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I'm more interested in the term itself. I'd never heard it beyond him, so I'd like to know where it came from. Quote
+x_Marks_the_spot Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Pirates are only cool in movies. Moving caches is just rude. If the owner had intended to place a multi or offset or puzzle, he would have done so. And anyway, thankfully Pirates are mostly a thing of the past. I would say that more than the muggles who stumble on poorly hidden caches, the real problem is caches hidden poorly so that Joe Schmo could stumble upon it to begin with.

+Dolfy Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 A nano is usually a cache that is too small to hold anything besides a log but it's smaller then a micro You'll find a couple of them here: Nano Quote
