Default Re: I hate to ask, but can somebody explain \"ido\" to me?

OP, I hate it when people innocently ask for help and only get smartass replies, so I decided to help you out. When you see "ido" in a thread, it means "in direct opposition." You can find this in the stickies to some of the fourms where abbreviations are posted and explained.

For instance, you'll read "Fold turn, ido". The poster is trying to say, "You should have folded the turn there, in direct opposition to what you actually did." Or in a general discussion forum, you might say, "Godfather is the greatest American movie ever, ido." Or, "In direct opposition to your favorite 'Jingle All the Way'".

Hope this helps, and happy posting!
