basically its between all countries for what they call car parts and other things in english. not so much internet slang like GTFO or FTW!!1 we don't really use slang too much here due to so many people being from around the world it would make it hard for us to all understand eachother...
 
all info put in alphabetical order, section added for internet slang so feel free to add to that as long as its not vulgar ;)

Blinx, you alphabetized the list:win:

I think CDM, ABS, LCA, CEL and EDM (because I think honda sends mostly the same models to Europe) should go in the abbreviations section. B-Pipe, Petrol, and Bulkhead should also be added.

I also think that slang is part of what makes this site WICKED cool, I welcome the random international slang.
 
I got a good one, well known i guess, use it all the time on diff forums.

RTFM= read the f*ckin manual

pardon my french...

i agree, is bulkhead firewall? lol im not sure, i know what the rest is, i too like the random words mate ;)
 
haha i did read it but i think the f word is needed as some people tend to ask questions which can easily be found in a manual.

Sorry for swearing :D
 
ok dino, i added your info, if anybody can think of a more eloquent description for B-pipe please advise!
 
Slang:

hella = large quantity / over exaggerated

used in a sentence: Your EK9 is hella clean. Your engine has hella oil leaks.
 
LOL= Laugh Out Loud
