otm

I was under the impression that the general consensus was “on the mark” as opposed to “on the money” (although I myself prefer the latter).

Is tbrr an ilx thing?

tmoney tmachine tgo tbrr

That's not really my scene (I'm 41) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 25 February 2021 23:48 (three years ago) link

also please tell me it means “to be really real” otherwise I need to be recalibrated

stilt in the wings (sic), Friday, 26 February 2021 00:08 (three years ago) link

i've never actually known what tbrr means

otm is such a great shorthand that it pains me to not be able to use it in texts and other random correspondence

if you don't do it, how do you expect other ppl to pick it up

stilt in the wings (sic), Friday, 26 February 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link

I use it everywhere. Even church.

Jesus otm

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 02:12 (three years ago) link

I...use OTM all the time. And also say 'challops.'

Oh well, everyone thinks I'm crazy anyway

"Out of the money" (OTM) is an expression used to describe an option contract that only contains extrinsic value. These options will have a delta of less than 50.0.

so sez google

Manfred Mann meets Man Parrish (ithappens) wrote this on thread POPE TO RESIGN WTF? on board I Love Everything on Feb 11, 2013

"Pope otm." is the single greatest sentence ever written on ILX.

visiting, Friday, 26 February 2021 02:45 (three years ago) link

in my mind, it's always "on the mark" and not "on the money"

the people have spoken, this is a thought crime

John Wesley Glasscock (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 26 February 2021 02:50 (three years ago) link

Clearly it means 'on the mend', as in 'your posts sucked so far but they're getting better'.

pomenitul, Friday, 26 February 2021 02:51 (three years ago) link

Anyway, I've tried to get like-minded irl friends (all of whom are heavily left-leaning – sorry, unperson) to check out ILX but they're just not into online discussions with perfect strangers, nor are they criminally addicted music obsessives, so 🤷.

pomenitul, Friday, 26 February 2021 02:57 (three years ago) link

77 OTM

John Wesley Glasscock (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 26 February 2021 02:58 (three years ago) link

xp It may take them a little while. I think my brother told me about ILX about a decade before I actually joined.

Lily Dale, Friday, 26 February 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link

Otm means "on the look"

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 03:41 (three years ago) link

Ahem try #2

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 03:41 (three years ago) link

Otm means "on the mook"

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 03:41 (three years ago) link

I have always been slightly sad that "off the money" is abbreviated the same.

Also, "rodents of usual size" would also be abbreviated R.O.U.S.

That’s why we say “notm”

Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 February 2021 04:01 (three years ago) link

OTM is "on the monkey", it's obscure drug slang known only to people now in their forties.

Other online haunts fail to grasp the concept of 'otm' because none of them ever had a nabisco

can we have bbcode to increase font size? maybe this will help the recurring problem of ilxors starting/continuing beef by not fully reading others' posts?

sarahell, Friday, 26 February 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link

too big, didn't read

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 19:24 (three years ago) link

the hide tags work great but could we possibly do TIMED hide tags that disappear after a certain amount of time? Like a week? Is that too much of a pony?

but i'm finally about to watch the 6th sense and I don't want that ending spoiled for me!!

Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 1 March 2021 21:18 (three years ago) link

Personal "pin bookmarked thread" option. Sometimes I want to keep a thread easily accessible even without new posts, and find myself bookmarking the second-to-last post in a thread to keep it in view -- in which case it clutters up the regular updated-bookmarks list and doesn't show whether there are actual new posts. My pinned threads could be e.g. in a separate list above the regular updated-bookmarks list, and ideally also have a marker for whether it has new posts.
