There's a thread for that https://omegaforums.net/threads/comprehensive-abbreviations-used-in-omega-forum.91833/
I'm surprised no one has found a shortening for minty yet. I've seen it used to describe everything from POS to NOS and anything in between.
Most of the shortening or abbreviations in use on the web are initialisations using the first letters of words in a phrase. Minty is one short word not much longer than many initialisations in use, it has just the one initial, M for Minty. MIB already exists for Mint in box, perhaps we should also have MIND for Mint in no box. That, mind you, becomes an acronym almost as long as minty itself. I think there may be a future for minty yet.
If my post was unnecessary I apologise. But 83 posts in two and a half years, postfarming?. Damn, now it’s 84 posts. (Psssst, wanna buy a watch?, can you wait ‘til 2024?)
FWIIW, I'm not sure if that comment was directed towards your post, I read it as a general comment. No, but I keep doing it anyway
For a moment I thought this was a pastry thread? and then I saw this mean spirited post What does it have to do with anything, who the heck cooked it up, and would anyone think of doing the same with a man?
As a Canadian, I feel it is my birthright to poke fun at the crown. In reading your post I went to look for the shrinking king equivalent, but none could be found in my google search. So maybe you are on to something.
