Geocaching Acronyms

Recommended Posts

I am working on a geocaching project and I would like to make a list of geocaching acronyms and their meanings.

 

I have the basic few:

 

FTF –FIRST TO FIND

TNLNSL- TOOK NOTHING, LEFT NOTHING, SIGNED LOG

TFTC –THANKS FOR THE CACHE

TOTT – TOOLS OF THE TRADE

BYOP- BRING YOUR OWN PEN/PENCIL

CITO – CACHE IN TRASH OUT

DNF – DID NOT FIND

GPS- GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

GZ – GROUND ZERO

SWAG – STUFF WE ALL GET

CACHE- GEOCACHE

TB – TRAVEL BUG

 

I am wondering if you use any others when you log caches or just use generally.

 

Thanks for your input.

The only one I really use on a regular basis thats Geocaching specific(i.e not FYI, LOL, YMMV etc.) is GPSr - GPS receiver. Normally use it in a context similar to "my GPSr was jumping all over the place".

 

There is also LPC, whose expanded name is a spoiler so I won't expand it. I don't chase LPCs so I never use it in a cache log.

 

Oh, and I've seen STF: second to find.

...or the variation TLNL...or sometimes just SL...

 

TFTC –THANKS FOR THE CACHE

 

I also see TFTH sometimes, which I assume is 'Thanks for the hide'...?

 

Also don't forget the obvious 'GS' for Groundspeak and 'GC' for geocache or Geocaching.

 

and:

MKH = magnetic key holder/hide

LNL = lock and lock

LPC = light pole/post cache

GRC = guard rail cache
