Prounication of DOMS

"DAW-UMS"

(so short O). It shouldn't sound like this

"DUE-MS" (dooms)



Megan: dude we should TOTALLY have a fitness wiki! I wonder how you can start a wiki?

Yeah, if you are having a party and a bunch of guys show up named Dominic, then you have DOMS.

Sorry, saw where the Jersey Shore, err, actors, reality-ers, want $10,000 a show and it just made me think of this.

Apologies if I offended any NJ-ites or Dominics.

That would be a good thing to have. Maybe when my life slows down a bit, I can start that (which my 10-y-o would probably correctly translate to "not likely").

First I would have to learn how to hide the big, long URL under a single cute little word.

Not techie here at all.

This is one of the changes with the new vBulletin that's actually worse than before; you used to be able to choose which text you'd like to type in when you clicked on the hyperlink above.

Here's an easy way to do it:
Type the text you want displayed in the link, for example VF and Forum software FAQs.
Highlight that text, copy your link, click on the Insert Link button, and paste the link.
You should then have the text you want displayed, VF and Forum software FAQs, instead of something that looks like this: http://forum.videofitness.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Kath.

I have tried before and haven't been able to do it, but now that you have nicely written it all out, I will know where to find the directions.

I will try it this weekend when I have some time.

How do I find out what "insanity" stands for in this forum?

Insanity is rampant on this forum.

But if they are talking about a program, it is a Beach Body program/system put out by Shaun T. You can go to beachbody.com and watch the infomercial.

Here's one to add

TNTC - Too numerous to count

I believe it's origin was the microbiology lab, its a standard abreviation in that context. They count number of colonies on a petrie plate or under a microscope and report the number within a given area.....it is is overgrown with organisms....it's...it's TNTC. Scientific types have taken the abbreviation and used it in other contexts now.

How many reps in that Jari Love workout?......hm IDK.....TNTC

It's an old school VF thing. This is the only place I've ever heard it, back when VF was on the Fitness Online board.

I've also heard it pronounced like you're spelling it out "DEE-OH-EMM-ESS"
