Decoding Chef Success Acronyms: A Guide for Beginners

[mistym]

Hi, I love reading the posts here but sometimes they are filled with so many acronyms that I cannot make sense of them! Is there somewhere to go to figure them out or can you all help me out here

Thanks

Misty

THANK YOU!!!! I've been trying to figure that one out for a while and never asked anyone because I knew it what it was referring to (I just call them the survey slips!)

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one staring at it going - what?????

Thanks for this post. I figured most of them out, but there were a few that I just could not get!

You can also go to

http://www.acronymfinder.com/

and type in the letters and it will give you the basic web meaning. It won't help with PC meanings, but you have some help here already.

Freudian slip?

Ok, here I go.....


EAD--Easy Accident Decorator

Is there something we should know about your EAD?

 

[ChefNic]

NC - National Conference... for me here is South Carolina (SC) ... NC stood for North Carolina -- and I lived there 3 years ago for 5 years... so that confused me for a while..people going to N.Carolina???
crazy me!

 

[jdavis]

Is there something we should know about your EAD?

Maybe..... Well I was only doing about 3 things at the same time, since you know Mom really is short for Multitasking. LOL. But I did break the push thingy on the first one and had to send it back, oops.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

It took me a while to get all of them down, some of them I am still learning too!!!

 

[jentapp]

Isn't THAT the truth!I've got 3 kids, so I totally understand the "mom being short for multitasking" thing.

When I first got my EAD, I couldn't understand what was "easy" about it. The thing wouldn't move! Well, not until I actually put something into the tube, then it really WAS easy.

Someone offered to decorate me recently, but since he wasn't my DH I declined the offer and explained that it was the decorator that was easy, not me. LOL

 

[gilliandanielle]

LMAO picture Jennifer using her Easy Accident Decorator!!

My BIL came over while I was making profiterole puffs and asked why I had a c*ck pump in my kitchen!!

 

[lisacb77]

Good lord Gillian! He must not have looked at it THAT closely. It looks nothing like Austin Powers'!

 

[gilliandanielle]

He probably didn't recoginze it because it doesn't look like the one he has at home!! http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/happy0071.gif

Thanks, I'm here all week!!

 

[jdavis]

OK Gill, you got me. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/tongue0013.gif I can't believe your BIL would think that, lol. My director said there were women at one of her shows right after we got the meat tenderizer that asked her what kind of show she was giving, lmao.

O Gillian....LMAO!!!!....I will never be able to look at that thing again without thinking of you now! My grandparents were farmers and everytime I use the EAD it reminded me of the hypodermic needles that they used on cattle....until now!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Glad you'll be remembering me everytime you use your c*ck pump!!

 

[AJPratt]

What a great thread!!!Jennifer: WOW What a list! Sorry about your decorator--LOL

Ahhh... the meat tenderizor. My favorite. I had a lady call me and said, "I'd like to order your Meat Beater". When I hestiated she said, "You know, the thing you use to beat your meat." http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-017.gif And, she was serious... no humor there.


Here's one more... FPV= Free product value
