For the benefit of the new and not-so-new, please post a sticky link to http://member.newsguy.com/~jparrish/...s/glossary.htm or some other list of common yoyo abreviations and nicknames.

hams · 11-27-2004, 05:41 PM

it feels kinda weird saying this but what does "IMHO" mean and what does GT satand for? (as in Cold Fusion GT)

1handed · 11-27-2004, 06:28 PM

IMHO is a branch off of IMO. It means In My Honest Opinion, wheras IMO means just In My Opinion.

I think GT stands for Grand Tour or Grand Tourismo maybe? I've seen it on cars and my two guesses are exactly what I just said. Guesses.

Well, if you are talking yoyo's, it usually means Green Triangle. GT also stands for the following when not talking about yo's:

Grand Turismo
Grand Tourist
Great Tea
Greedy Tricycles
Gross Telephone
Green Tea
Good-ol Tertiary
Gold'n Turkey
Godly Techy

Remeber: If not all of these definitions fit, DONT USE GT! :)

hams · 11-29-2004, 01:01 PM

if so, why would they name a yoyo "proyo greedy tricycles"

or "proyo green triangle"?

gt usually means it's just top of the line

flameboy1117 · 12-11-2004, 08:45 AM

GT also means that the yoyo is butterfly shape. Like the Bumble Bee GT. It is a butterfly version of the Bumble Bee. Same thing with the Cold Fusion GT.
