    Glossary please!

    I am new here, and I have some serious questions!!!

    For heaven sakes, what does MIM mean?!?! I have read this in about EVERY thread I read and I have no clue what it means. It took me about 10 years to find out that DRRI actually means Deluxe Reverb Re-Issue!!!

    Oh boy, please help me! I suggest the moderators or someone else start a glossary section somewhere for all the es like me!

    VAH = Vintage Anal Homo
    CS = Custom Shop, or to some, Cork Sniffer's.
    BF = Black Face (Fender, not Al Jolson)
    LP = Les Paul
    SF = Silver Face
    PR = Princeton Reverb
    DR = You know already
    VR = Vibrolux Reverb
    TR = Twin Reverb
    SR = Super(b) Reverb
    Pro R = Pro Reverb
    RI = Reissue

    Example of usage;

    "The VAH bought a switchtip for $1,500 then plugged the Radio Shack curly cord into his prized Pro R RI. He still sounded like BS." (you know that one too).
