i am new to this message board and it seems like there are a lot of abbreviations for words, like UTG. i do not know what those abbreviations mean, so could someone make up for me a basic dictionary of what those abbreviations stand for.

Good list (which I never knew existed), but a few of those could be updated.
Cha-ching? That's classy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
And why does New Hampshire get its own abbreviation? What's so special about NH? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

No idea, I'm Canadian.

Sure, [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] means spades, [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] means diamonds, [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] means hearts and [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] means clubs.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Welcome to the forum. Do some work on the search function.
