+tgjamin Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
