I even learned a few new ones here....love them !
ReplyDeleteA few on the list that I haven't heard of. Thanks for the lesson.
ReplyDeleteThere are some here that are new on me!
ReplyDeletemy favorite is SABLE:
ReplyDeletestash accumulated beyond life expectancy!
What happened to SABLE? As Mary Margaret agrees, it is the best.
ReplyDeleteYes, SABLE is certainly applicable to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No UFO's? (Un-finished objects)
ReplyDeleteMy DH refers to my WIPs as MIPs. Masterpieces in Progress.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the others that you are missing UFOs, SABLE, and of course SEX (Stash Enhancement eXperience).
ReplyDeleteBut ort is wrong, it isn't an acronym at all, it's an old word (Latin, IIRC), that means "a scrap or morsel left over" or something similar.
Fun list though!
