    Occasionally the "Original Poster" is an "Odd Person" or has an "Old or Odd Project" or they are referring to "Other People" or "Old People" so you just have to kind of wing it and attach whatever fits.

    You are of course the "Original Poster" here!!

    Original Poster is what it stands for. Old Prick is usually what they are.

    OP = other people. As in, smoking OP's = bumming cigarettes off your friends.

    "Anybody got a cigarette?"

    "Everybody but you".

    Old gag from the forties.

  16. IHA .... I hate abreviations.
     
  17. Yes, there are all kind of acronyms listed in this thread that folks use in email/social media communications, but truthfully very few of those are used here very often. But, we do use a few.

    OP = original Poster

    Not to be confused with PO, which means previous owner...or POS which means piece of shit.

    Yeah, I guess we do use a few.:D

    It stands for Ocean Pacific and if you had it on a shirt when I was in jr. high it meant you were a COOL, especially if paired with checkerboard Vans and no socks.
