Thread: An New Acronyms and Abbreviations To Add

According to my buddie's admonition, "If you can't be satisfied with what you have, you'll never be satisfied with what you get," you're a much happier individual than those who suffer from ADs. Because my old boss, Robert Reilly's grandmother said, "He who buys what he does not need, will someday need what he cannot buy."

Depression era thought, not the usual philosophy espoused since the advent of the baby boomers, but true nonetheless.

The sad truth is, in this country anyway, can be the difference between living and dieing.

I have the hard wool felt on my SRD Paddle but I use the Paddle for travel and touch up mostly.
All of my hanging strops (Whipped Dog Rich Man (now with Brother) and two SRD Bridle (one regular and one long that came unused with an also unused Robert Williams in the BIN find of the year last year)) have webbing material.

What do you like about the wool over the linen?

Sorry engine, just to expand on my last or so post, I have never looked at the official acronyms list, or if I did it was once about a year ago, I have always taken SAD to be soap AD unless the context makes it make more sense for it to be strop AD. So apologies for jumping on you earlier. However I still haven't revisited the acronyms list but I will take you on your word
sorry tangented there, i have just realized I have come up with a new acronym for soaps and creams in general, and not strops as per the discussion at hand.

Worried about these acronyms, they seem to rule the world, it's everywhere!

SAD=Strop
SSAD = Soap
SCAD= Scuttle
HAD = hone
BAD = I forget....oh yeah Brush, that's right
GAD = Glycerin addition disorder (made that up )
RAD = Razor
DFS
BBS

Will there be a test? I'm horrible at test

ASAD - After Shave Addiction Disorder?

FAD - Fragrance Addiction Disorder?

You Are Blatantly And Deliberately Acquiring Blades And Diverse Other Objects!

One acronym to rule them all - YABADABADOO!

James.
