I don’t use this, but I noticed a lot of people using OD, and at first I was like, “Overdosed”. LOL, but for the newbies, it means Over Delivered. 🙂

[woofy31]

Reply to @musiclover: Yes, I’ve seen it, too, and I also thought it was referring to overdosing :)) Good catch, musiclover, I’ll put it to the top 😉

this post is awesome

[woofy31]

Reply to @princemaxx: :)) are you referring to this topic, or is that actually an abbreviation? Because I haven’t seen it used before 😛

[Guest itsyourthing]

I’m not sure if it’s a common fiverr forum-ism, but in my day job, this is used almost exclusively when ‘mental replying’ to clients, and even with my limited experience here, I’m sure it will apply in the fiverrverse… KMA. 🙂

[woofy31]

Reply to @itsyourthing: but what does it mean? What’s the non-abbreviated version? 🙂

[Guest itsyourthing]

madmoo wins the prize! 😃

How about WTF? "Where’s The Fiverr?!"



It could be used when someone inboxes you over and over again about a gig without ever ordering one…lol.



Buyer: "hey can you do something like this?"

Seller: "sure, here are some examples."

Buyer: "well how about something like this?"

Seller: "absolutely, I am very versatile, just order a gig and I will get started!"

Buyer: "well I want to be sure I like it. can it be done like this?"

Seller: “WTF?!?!?”



😉

[woofy31]

Reply to @jive_a_five: :)) that is genius, but I don’t know if it’s safe to use since it has always been used with the ‘other’ meaning - people might think you are using bad language 😛

[hempfairie]

Reply to @woofy31: How about using “WT5r” or just “WT5” instead?

[psychicrainbow]

Reply to @songvidoi: There are dedicate sections of the forum for gig solicitations. Let’s try to keep this thread clean by relating to the OP (see above for definition) :-B :-B :-B
