+DENelson83 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Situations that one commonly finds while geocaching eventually end up being given names, so that they can easily be referred to again, such as "drunken bee dance", "geostripes" or "Markwelling". I've given some of my most common situations names: "Ghost chase", "Green slime cache", "Magnet route", "Marker cache", "Proximity zone", "The Tunnel"; "Nelsoning": Compressing a common situation into three words or less, named after the guy who first applied this technique using acronyms, but has since abandoned such frivolity Have you come up with any terminology you want to share?

+Viajero Perdido Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Caching Unit or CU for short. 1 CU = 161 meters = 528 feet Anybody who's hidden a few caches knows the special meaning of that distance. Quote Link to comment

+n0k1a Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 FTF = First to Fail - When the first log entry on a newly published cache is a DNF (e.g. when a newly hidden cache is muggled before it is published / found, the first searcher simply couldn't find it, etc.) I've had that happen more than once to myself (couldn't find, not muggled). I took to calling the phenomenon FTDNF. Quote Link to comment
