Abbreviations

[Whacked]

OK, aside from normal 'net abbreviations I'm having some trouble decyphering the Groundspeak code.

So far I haven't seen any list of whats used here.

 

What I've figured out so far is:

TB/TC= travel bug/travel coin

TFTC=thanks for the cache

 

But i've seen several more that I haven't been able to wrap my noodle around and decode.

Any help in decoding?

The most common:

TNLN - Took nothing, left nothing

FTF - First to Find

FTP - First to Post

A lot of the common abbreviations are listed right on geocaching.com in their http://www.geocaching.com/about/glossary.aspx page.

 

But you won't see the French version of TFTC which is MPLC... LOL.
