If I Remember Correctly
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH of relief.
You have no idea how long that has been bugging me!
Thanks.
That bugged me for 8 months before I got up the courage to ask! L
BTW… its “if I RECALL correctly” 
at least in MY mind it is… hehe
Wow. You have nooooooo idea how long I’ve been waiting to fight some kind of ignorance on this board. Looks like my job is done here. I’ll miss you all.
Sweet Jesus, Mary Mother of God!!! I have been confused beyond belief by what those four letters could possibly mean. Thank you soooo much for finally tell us. JJJEEESSSSUSSSS!!!
Now to really confuse people, how about ISTR and OTGH?
OK, I’ll bite Akat, what do those mean?
ISTR = I Seem To Recall ???
And “OTGH”, of course, is “On The Gripping Hand”.
re: OTGH
I always thought this was Old Tired Grizzled Horse, variation on the deceased equine. Whaddya know.
And what the hell does “on the gripping hand” mean?
Still confused…
on the gripping hand– In the progression that starts “On the one hand…” and continues “On the other hand…” mainstream English may add “on the third hand…” even though most people don’t have three hands. Among hackers, it is just as likely to be “on the gripping hand”. This metaphor supplied the title of Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle’s 1993 SF novel “The Gripping Hand” which involved a species of hostile aliens with three arms (the same species, in fact, referenced in juggling eggs). As with TANSTAAFL and con, this usage is a naturalized import from SF fandom.
LSHMSOMNAISMP!!
