Alright I’ve seen the new acronym eli5 twice here in one minute. Help Vinny and me out with this one. Yeah I could Google it.
Re: Houston Firefighters Pension Fund Makes Bitcoin, Ether Purchase
I had to search as well. I thought it was referring to somebody named Eli. Apparently it's "explain like I'm 5".I Shrugged wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 5:17 pm Alright I’ve seen the new acronym eli5 twice here in one minute. Help Vinny and me out with this one. Yeah I could Google it.

I’ve told Boglerdude a half a dozen times that this is not reddit, but he continues to use the eli5 abbreviation as if it’s standard English and all the fogies here would just know. Irony. This is the Explain Like I’m 55 forum.

As I prior stated somewhere here....when new people come here...experienced veterans just throw around all kinds of acronyms like they should be as well understood by a totally new person as a veteran understands them all....
Above provided by: Vinny, who always says: "I only regret that I have but one lap to give to my cats." AND "I'm a more-is-more person."

Tim Pool just referenced BowTiedBull, popularity-spike incoming. Which is cool, I think it's a very interesting substack.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
