What do these mean (in reference to zoning amendments):

rnbd
rpld
rltd


According to my wife mbd stands for minimal brain disfunction and she
says that's what I have. In addition, it also stands for "one thousand
barrels per day" or "one million barrels per day" depending on which
web site you look at. I would vote for the one-million definition. It
also stands for "Metabolic Bone Disease".

"rpld" is some wierd computer thing--perhaps having to do with UNIX. In
order to understand anything at all about UNIX, you have to climb a
high mountain in Tibet and intern for 30 years with some guys wearing
white robes who walk around in circles and chant incomprehensible
jibberish.

"rltd" stands for "related". An example sentence would be: My wife's
family are rltd to chimpanzees.
