moondog Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks Solar, knew some, did not know many. Ya think after living Zep for 30 odd years it would be a no-brainer for me. But not many brain cells still working these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kissandra Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Nice, but Ramble On?!!! Yeah, really ...which begs the question--which one gets RO: Royal Orleans or Ramble On? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yeah, really ...which begs the question--which one gets RO: Royal Orleans or Ramble On? When in doubt, spell it out. I've got Royal Orleans down as RO because I've seen it used more often. Probably because Ramble On is relatively easy to type out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 RO= Royal Orleans. I just recignize it that why because some peole belong to that forum and say "over at RO" so I just think Royal Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Wisty Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 In conversation I have actually found myself referring to Stairway to Heaven as "Stuh" because of the acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissandra Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 RO= Royal Orleans. I just recignize it that why because some peole belong to that forum and say "over at RO" so I just think Royal Orleans. Yeah, I think that's why most people think of Royal Orleans when they see that acronym. But before I'd heard about that forum, if ever I saw RO, I thought of Ramble On...depending on the context. Still do. That's mostly why I don't like abbreviations--misinterpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solar Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 same case... RON = Ramble On and that's it Um, no. We're talking generally used acronyms. No one has ever used RON. Also, for those thinking RO = Ramble On, show me proof of someone using it. I've only seen RO used for Royal Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Is it just me ...? Even though I KNOW that MSG in the context of this forum, means Madison Square Garden, every time I see the abbreviation, I can't help but immediately think of monosodium glutamate! Okay, I know; it's just me ... I'll shut up now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissandra Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm just saying if someone said, for example, their favorite Led Zeppelin song was RO, I would think Ramble On. I don't see acronyms too often on here though...which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
