Oh, you meant DUNE related, didn't you?

I feel like we've used H-S for hunter-seekers, but I'm not sure.

MP- Missionaria Protectiva

But those are both pretty obscure, not really common use things.

Haha.. where I live TP = toilet paper.

I think Freak is looking for Dune abbreviations, not general abbreviations.

I wonder if it meant the same thing back in the 60s and that's why FH included the hyphen?! :)

Why are you flipping out about what I said? I wasn't picking ON you. TP is the abbreviation for toilet paper, and I said in another post that I didn't remember FH using an abbreviation for telepathy. You seriously need to chill out.

I'll talk about where I live whenever I want to :wink:

TO FREAKZILLA, thank you. whatever you do.
TO OMPHALOS, thank you, you helped me sir.

to the naive, unencombered, & true intellectuals, LOVE.

to the rest: FUCK YOU & FUCK Off.

P.S. freak, we are not perfect, remember always

The hands move, the lips move-
Ideas gush from his words,
And his eyes devour!
He is an island of Selfdom.

All you need to do is relax and stop assuming everyone is picking on you. I find it hard to believe that you've lived to be 30 with such thin skin.
