    I know what a few of those terms mean. I'll refer you to web links though. They do a much better of explaining than I would.

    Keyboard warrior - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=keyboard warrior

    Troll - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll

    Wolf pack - Not sure of the context this word was used in, but here's what urban dictionary had to say about that - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wolf+pack

    IDEE - I have never heard of this term and am interested in finding out what it means also. Couldnt find anything on google.

    Here's the link to the sticky with the abbreviations/acronyms http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1069278-acronyms-and-terms-for-new-mfp-members-v-6

    I'd bet what you saw was TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). At the top of this board, there are lots of very helpful stickies for your journey. They are "stuck" there to make them easy to find. Actually there are good ones on each section of the forum. Hope you find some of them helpful!:bigsmile:

    Wolf pack (I think) is the proposed name for a posse on this site that consider calorie counting and macros with no regard for micronutrients. They have all been very successful and wear little clothing.

    Umm I couldn't find and a FUPA in the form sticky. So what is it mean? Message me with what it means if it's not civil to mention in a public forum post. Curiosity is killing the cat.

    Be careful. The Wolf pack may peg us as noobs for not knowing that one. I have no idea either.

    I think you'll find they have great regard for micro-nutrients. They just don't believe you get bonus points for getting more than you need. I know this, because I'd consider myself one of them, though relatively inactive on the boards.

    ^ this.

    OP, I'm sure you have figured out that "wolf pack" is a derogatory term for some people on here.
    I'm confident that you're a grown adult and adequately capable of making your own mind up about individual MFP members.

    Welcome aboard.

    Btw, the term "FUPA" is probably easily found on Urban Dictionary.

    A fupa is when a person has fat over their pubic area causing a front bump in addition to your regular belly.

    I saw a prime example of it recently on Channel 4 (4OD UK Network ) on a show Called Baggy Body. Apparently the women named it Fred. Reminded me of a South Park episode I saw a while back.

    Wow that is crazy that a group that people recognize even formed considering the amount of people on this site. This is very interesting.

    If you mean the "wolf pack", its not a formally established group.
