jellywerker Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 People in the know here tend to use a number of acronyms/shortened names to speed up chat and such. However, many of us who are new here, like myself, are at a loss as to what these mean and have to ask. This can be rather inconvenient in the middle of a conversation. So here is a short list of acronyms I have picked up on. AF = Al Fakher, a brand of shishaHC = Hookah Company, an online merchantHF = HookahForum, this great place we loveHD = Hookah Domain, another hookah-related forumHJ = Hookah John, also called Johns, an online merchantNH = Non Hookah, see the rulesNHT = Non Hookah Tobacco, see the rulesZag = Zaglhoul, a flavor of Nakhla shisha with a traditional taste and formIf you have any to add, please post them below.

jellywerker Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think collated and stickied will do nicely once we have something of a finalized list. As long as it's being added to a thread is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
