Glossary of Terms

[Road Runner]

So it has taken me a week to figure out what you all mean by "Tupper Ware". I don't think that I am slow and there have been other terms that I found that I did not know. Maybe other new Spyder owners have similar problems. It also would probably be helpful if there were other owners in my area that I could talk to but I get along. So, a glossary of terms? I found some terms to be slang but some are technical and some have to do with BPR products and after market products. Thanks a bunch. By the way you all rock. Every thing I read is so interesting and you all help one another which is refreshing.

I'm not sure just how much of the slang you're unsure of...
Nanny: The vehicle stability control systems that grab you by the collar just about the time that the fun starts... :gaah:
Frunk: The Front Trunk
Orange Screen of Death: Hope you never see it; your Spyder just got serious about one or more error codes, and is shutting itself down...
Farkle: Accessories

I hope that this gives you a start! :thumbup:

You might also notice that many posts misuse the word "issues" as a synonym for "problems." Of course, we all know they are not synonyms, and that inanimate devices don't have "issues." :dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

Does anybody else have a favorite definition (Or seven!), that they'd like to add?

Is this not a grate place to live and learn?

Who ever started subbing " issues " for having a problem needs to be run over with a big steam roller!

"Void the warranty" - a phrase used (usually tongue-in-cheek) indicating that personal mods may run afoul of BRP

Very good.

I'm glad you said of course and not of coarse. Oh, those are homonyms; a whole different ball of wax.

Every now and then I see PC and it isn't personal computer. What is it?

Never mind; I found it and realized that I'm never PC.

Sometimes this great place does grate my nerves. But, is that an issue or a problem?

Could be a personal problem or perhaps a personnel problem.
