list, probably the tip of the iceberg, but you get what you pay for.
No claims are made for its accuracy or political correctness.

Big Box Store Home Depot, Lowe's (others in different localities)

Also known as the borg (reference to Star Trek or some such and the
alien borg that threatened to assimilate us all), which is probably
even more widely used (and less understood) than Big Box Store.

BT3000 Table Saw made by Riobi

Also commonly known as BT3K.

Chop Saw A metal cutting tool, functions like a miter saw

Technically true, except that almost everyone in woodworking refers to
a miter saw (the wood kind, and non-compound, and non-slider) as a
chop saw.

Crapsman Derogatory name for Sears products

But well deserved in many cases.

Deja News searchable archive of NG postings

I believe they no longer exist, being taken over by Google.

FS For Sale

You should probably add other prefixes, such as FA (for auction), WTB
(wanted to buy), OT (off topic), etc.

Neander WW who abstain from the use of power tools

I believe it's generally considered poor form to use acronyms to
define acronyms, particularly when they themselves have yet to be
defined in the list (see also NG).

Norm Norm Abram of the NYW (syndicated WW show on PBS)
Normites follower of Norm and user of dedicated power tools
NYW New Yankee Workshop, seen on PBS, and in abridged versions
On the DIY network

You might mention that some readers are incapable of seeing a
reference to Norm or TNYW without flying into paroxysms of anti-brad
nailer epithets.

It would not upset me to see certain fan sites mentioned in
conjunction with Norm and TNYW.

Orange Tools router bits made by CMP and painted orange

I believe you mean CMT.

Persuader large deadblow hammer

Doesn't have to be a dead blow. Doesn't even have to be a hammer. I
refer you to the phrase "brogan maintenance" which, although brogan is
probably no longer a well recognized name for shoe, means to kick it.

If you're going to mention "persuader" you might also include
"Tennessee smoke wrench" or its variants, as synonymous with applied
(perhaps injudiciously) heat (propane, MAPP, or acetylene).

S4S sanded on four sides

I believe that's actually "surfaced four sides." Usually planed, less
frequently sanded. Also, there are S2S and S3S variants.

TANSTAFL There ain't no such thing as a free lunch

Not enough "As"; count 'em. TANSTAAFL. Every rule of abbreviation,
capitalization, or acronyming requires that if you count one of those
you must count the other, or count neither, which renderes the acronym
unpronouncable (in my view a principle tenet of acronyms)

WW wood working

Popularly known (at least by a couple of us) as "wood-dorking." Ask
your kids or your wife or Tom.

What about "the wreck?" Although if one is here, one probably already
knows that.

Maybe it's not the same as the old days, and the chief practitioner
has wandered away, but at one time it was quite common to supplement
any word which has an alternative Canuckistani spelling with a
parenthetical rendering of that spelling including an aside to David
(as in David Eisan, now, unfortunately, an infrequent visitor, but at
one time perhaps the most successful fisherman on the wreck). e.g.
"that's a nice color (colour, David)."

You can check (cheque, David) with other regulars on that.

BORG Big Orange Retail Giant

Although some folks have created that definition to fit the acronym, I
believe most will agree it's a reference to the Star Trek (or
something) beast in space called the borg which will assimilate us
all.

Particularly so since the borg is also Lowe's (blue), Menards (unknown
color), Farm & Fleet (ditto), and others, rendering the "orange" part
a non-sequitir.

Not to pick nits, but when a Canuckistani writes a cheque, he checks
to see if he wrote it correctly. A 'cheque' is a separate word.

As the long suffering spouse of a genuine Canuckistani (from Ontario,
too, no less), I should have known that. It may have gotten missed in
the purge, though (she's been "below the border" for nearly 40 years
now). I rarely hear her say "colour," "theatre," or "neighbour"
anymore. And she hasn't said "chesterfield" in years.

I should have used a better example.

If you need to list these common items for folks who do NOT know these

proper understanding (and use) of emoticons can prevent some flame wars.

Nummienums? Please. I recall the days when I was living in Illinois
(where we had to put up with Stroh's and Falstaff) and Coors was
legendary there. It was never sold east of the Mississippi in those
days, and I guess that must have made it seem mystical. However, when
I made my first trip to Denver and tried one out I thought, "what the
hell is the fuss about? This is like flavored water."

Once it eventually became available east of the river, I tried it
again with the same result. There is no Coors heavy. There's Coors
(translate to "Coors Lite") and then there's Coors Lite, which as I
say, is redundant. They could have perfectly described their
tasteless, body-less "light" offering just by saying Coors.

Is this Friday?

Yes.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
care to correspond with you anyway.

Yabbut, you just never had to drink Pearl, or else!

Nummienums?

Is there an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?

There is no Coors heavy.

Imagine if there was. Then you'd have a concentrated version of
flavoured water. Extra boredom.

Coors, the product of a malcontented horse.

Ranks right up there with Falstaff, Pearl, Milwaukee's Best, and
probably at least a 100 others.

Don't forget Rhinelander -- worst beer _by_far_ that I have ever tasted.

I had the identical experience. IMO Coors beer is just another example of an
inferior product made popular by skillful marketing.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

What is amazing, is how much your average consumer forgets when they
taste something 'without' a label.
Case in point was that my mentor at the National Research Council was
an avid scotch drinker. As this was well known amongst his followers,
he ended up with a collection of scotches second to none. A cellar
full. I don't think he was ever stumped when asked if he had a certain
brand.
One night, as guests at his house, my crew and I were challenged to a
double blind taste test. His wife, who would serve us, had no clue
what we were trying either. She served up 8 glasses with coded numbers
taped onto them, and all of us went from glass to glass, making notes
as we went along.
They were clearly very different, from pale to almost cognac-like.
We all agreed on the worst (IIRC, it was Vat 69) and almost all of us
preferred the same one...I distinctly remember it was Bells. Chivas,
Livit, and a few other high-end ones rated average. Granted, none of
my guys, or me, were experts.

ABC news recently did a similar test with vodka.

When you don't know what it is... many pre-conceived ideas go right
out the window.
BUT... there is no way in hell that Coors would get past me. Or Bud.

I have been told, that if you drink enough Coors, you end up goos-
stepping as you walk. (Must be the Adolph ingredient?)

Give me a pinot noir over a beer any day ... any vintage that you can dunk a
Bluebell sugar free popsicle in will do just fine, right Leon?.
