A STUPID NEWBIE QUESTION
08/16/05 | BIRDS

Posted on 08/16/2005 4:32:53 PM PDT by BIRDS

I've been participating on FR in comments only a short while now but I learn (mostly) quickly (self promotion!).

My one delay on the FR Learning Curve is whattheheck does "bttt" mean?

I see it often on threads but I don't understand:

(1.) what the acronym (please tell me it's an acronym) means; and,

(2.) what purrpose it serves to type it.

So, oh wise learned Freepers, please explain. I thankyew.

It brings a thread to the notice of the Viking Kitties

Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco. I really bought into that when I was a young smoker back in the 50's. We preferred Lucky Strikes because you could roll them up the sleeve of your T-Shirt. Also, it was the preferred brand of most veterans from WWII.

We, of course, weren't particular. We smoked Pall Malls, Camels, Old Golds and what ever we could steal from our parents and other trusting dupes who had cigarettes on hand. Sometimes we got our hands on Kents or English Ovals and really had a puffing orgy. We loved smoking cigarettes. We could buy them or get them with impunity, steal them if necessary, which we did, even though we were only 12 years old.

I don't smoke today. My brother-in law, at 72 years old,still smokes unfilterd Lucky Strikes.

You could bookmark the thread and save it in your profile for the links or save my FRPage in your stuff for future reference if you like.

I went with Viceroy in my smoking days which ended about 23 years ago - I think I just liked the name.

Thanks, I saved it to my Links, so as to reference later if/as needed.

Thanks, again, to everyone for all the helps and welcomes. I love the humor in the place, by the way...helps to alleviate the otherwise intense issues, is appreciated.

Sometimes it's far nicer for Newbies to reveal their own inadequacies than to focus on those of others...better that I reveal mine than harp on about those of others, I mean.
