What is 'OY'---is it perhaps TUG (over yonder??)

[BoardGirl Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BoardGirl]

Oy is always Tug, no matter where I'm standing. Or which way I'm facing.

Here is TS4M, or, OH.

Never mind - changed my mind and I don't want to break my self-imposed rules.

I have read some postings that have the abbreviation OY----does it stand for 'over yonder'?

I might be WAY OFF base---so please correct me if I am.

Thanks,
Pat

I really don't see one thing wrong with this thread. Using shortcuts like OY or OH or OT should not get anyone upset.

You are right, Frank. It was all the other threads I read today about TUG. There were quite a few so I got a little confused.

Do you know that I have received a gazillion e-mails and PMs from folks stating that OY <written here and referring to TUG> is viewed as derogatory?

Derogatory?????
Like "Imus" derogatory????

Welcome other Pat - we are a friendly, but confused people here on the dark side.

Crap, you've discovered the nasty secret I have tried to hide all my life: I am insensitive to lefties.

Hid it from Dad (ambidextrous - sp?) and DH (lefty with a right brain of gold). now, one stupid moment I slip, and everyone knows.
