Hi All,

Can anyone offer any insight into the myriad of acronyms and slang terms people use in the forums. For example, what the heck is a "stone" in regards to a unit of measurement?!? I guess I missed that one in 5th grade. Thanks!

    Stone is not an acronym, it's a measurement in the UK. What acronyms/slangs are you specifically asking about?
