Lol, I never claimed that was the origin of the acronym!
Let's just say it was used a lot in that era.

nah, not history between us, I don't know him at all, I just like to do research, DYODD is a favorite saying of mine (since we are talkin acronyms)So can you clear this up a bit for the young uns like me?
There seems to be some "historic" background to this beyond the mere absurdity of layering nutrients into the soil?
This brother...? May be interfering with the discussion though he's not even here
Just noticed ttystikk and you have been around for about the same time Snafu's profile is..
Do Your Own Due Diligence.
all I did was go look through some of his posts to see if he was in fact, an "experienced organic grower", and didn't find anything profound.
Oh and FUBAR, and SNAFU are my favs
I actually had another username before, but forgot my password, and it was linked to an email acct that is long gone, I've been around since probably mid 2000s,

Ahhh yeah
Takes me back to an old rant of mine from my web accessibility days lol
The difference between acronym and abbreviation, impossible to get into peoples' heads so they'd mark it up correctly, though it's really not complicated to understand: can you speak it out like a word? then it's an acronym
lol

FNG- Fucking New Guy. Acro or abbrev?

Acronym.
Abbrev. is an abbreviation for 'abbreviation'. That's the abbreviated version.

haha nope
FNG is an abbreviation, not an acronym. It would be an acronym if it were FUNG though
