Is there a website to better understand internet lingo? ls |

The original source of the expression "Bling-Bling" comes from pop culture and is making forays into many other usages, like it or not. The original expression was used to refer to a rapper or pop star's collection of gaudy jewely and precious metals they wore in public, as in "some one stole my Bling-bling". It has since come to mean anything extravagant, gaudy or excessive in terms of accessories for pretty much anything. It irritates many, but vernacular sometimes has a life of its own, like it or not! Personally, I find it amusing when applied to firearms. |

I'll try to help: IBTL - In Before the Lock ARFCOMER - A person who is a memeber on ARFCOM (AR-15.com) SHTF - Shit hits the fan BBT - Back to the Top I can't think of any more now...someone else can jump in. What does IIRC mean? |

Trying to say that a cash register goes 'ching ching' or 'bling bling' is like asking if a dog goes 'bark bark' or 'woof woof'. When dealing with non-vocalized sounds, it's a matter of INTERPRETATION, and varies according to who's doing the interpretation. My definition of 'bling' is more in line with the definition you'll find in an online search. CJ |

Guys the "bling" in "bling-bling" comes from the light "blinging" off of the "ice" or diamonds in ones jewelry. And my interpretation of "bling-bling" on an AR was the chrome/nickel/Ti pieces, like those on the Bushy 25th anni. edition. I'd hardly consider a EO/M2, w/ a rail, and aSF light "bling-bling" |
