I give you TRSisms... a handy way to service members!

[97RangerXLT]

If you have been linked to this thread from a TRSism post, skip down to the translation list!

I modified this from a similar post on the LX Forums… I thought that much of the original could apply to us at TRS as well. I originally posted this way back in 2012… most of the items still apply, although some of them are a bit dated. I have modernized and updated the list below. If you are curious, my original post is here:

https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/i-give-you-trsisms-a-handy-way-to-service-members.125498/

enjoy.

In the interest of efficiency and better forum communication, some form or standardized shorthand would be a boon - particularly for the regulars. I submit to TRS: the first list of TRSisms.
When you have the opportunity, rather than typing out a long answer, just refer the gentle reader to the appropriate TRSism. You will engage in less typing and the reader will have a clear, concise and vetted statement to work from. It’s a win-win all around. For example, when siKheMiN00b asks

"What is the best exhaust that will pass the wife test?"

Rather than 10 guys writing personalized responses that provoke unnecessary discussion, you can simply and helpfully respond for everyone:

Some TRSisms take parameters, similar to programming statements. For example if defJakazZ asks

"How often should I change my oil?"

The benefits multiply exponentially when you can combine TRSisms and really save!

"How often should I change my oil, what oil should I use?"

Enjoy! And feel free to submit recommendations to this new, growing resource! All entries will be considered, at least briefly.

==============The Official, Handy TRSism List===============
1. It’s not a CIA. The CIA are the people who are watching you. Right now. Cut and paste this instead of trying to type it from now on: CAI
2. It’s not a CAI. It’s a short ram intake. Short ram intakes pull in hot air from the engine so it can't very well be a CAI, can it, you moron?
3. STFU already with the short ram lecture, you jackass. Everybody knows already and if you weren't such a shiny n00b you'd know we just say 'CIA' for short all the time.
4. Nobody can help you decide on the best exhaust unless you chop your ears off and glue them to the side of someone else's head.
5. I swear by Mobil1 it is the best and there's no argument on this.
6. I swear by Royal Purple it is the best and there's no argument on this.
7. I swear by Amsoil it is the best and there's no argument on this.
8. Only morons use Mobil1, Royal Purple or Amsoil. All geniuses use dino oil.
9. There is no dino oil because dinosaurs are a myth.
10. Dinosaurs are not a myth. I'm telling.
11. Change your oil every [parameter] miles.

#42 needs to be changed. We already have a 42... It’s the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything!
It took Deep Thought over 7 million years to calculate that answer... you can’t just go changing it.

Oh yeah... 65.

 

[pjtoledo]

you actually want us to be concise and get to the point right away???


# 63-3

I always did like RTFM

 

[PetroleumJunkie412]

Oh. My. Gods. You found the original dildo post.

I love you.



@Dirtman! We're top of the class!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Add sexually attracted to dinosaurs to oil preferences?

'A handy way to service members' is a very curious turn of phrase.

'A handy way to service members' is a very curious turn of phrase.

welll lets look at the word service...

you see the word "service" in many aspects of life. there is Customer Service. most retailers have this. Internal Revenue Service. then you go to a farm and many small operations that do not have the money to raise their own bull will have someone come in and "service" their cows. I think from that you can get a deeper meaning on what service really is.

[ericbphoto]

Who or what services the cows if it isn’t a bull?!? That’s a disturbing thought! How does that affect the milk? What about the mental state of the cow after being serviced by a non-bull? That might be traumatic.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Ranger850]

Lets just go on down to the TRSisms glory hole and get some handy service for our members.

I think #42 fits beautifully into the scheme of things, as Deep Thought was thinking of that post when it came up with answer of 42.

AI is very common for livestock, especially dairy. Either a vet or the farmer/rancher does the deed.

Easier/cheaper for some to just buy what they need than to buy the whole prize winning bull/boar/stallion that they will have to sell again in a few years.

Farm fluffer!
