Glossary

The following is a list of abbreviations commonly used on BoyChat, with their definition or explanation.




    CHSC:
    Cement-Headed Straight-Clown -- A straight person who, not having to question his/her own sexuality, has lost the ability to think open-mindedly about sexuality. His/her mind has turned to unthinking cement capable of understanding only those sexual feelings that conform to societal norms. (credited to Adam Selene)

    CM:
    Child Molester/Molestation -- People who force themselves sexually on boys and/or girls. The media and LEO's lump us in with these creeps; in fact, no true boylover would ever force himself on a boy.

    FSC:
    FreeSpirits Committee -- The volunteer committee that oversees FreeSpirits and all of its sites.

    GL:
    GirlLove -- The label chosen by men with a physical, emotional, and psychological attraction to prepubescent and/or pubescent girls. GirlChat is the support board for GirlLovers.

    GT:
    Get Together -- A real life meeting of several BLs for the purpose of socialization. They’re usually kept very secret, and are invite only.

    KP/CP:
    Kiddy Porn/Child Pornography -- Pictures or written depictions of children in sexually explicit situations or positions, usually illegal. The definition of KP is not definite, but more of a “know it when you see it” phenomenon.

    LBL:
    Little Boy Lover -- The label chosen by Boylovers with an AOA primarily for little boys.

    LEO:
    Law Enforcement Officer -- Self explanatory. Some monitor the board, so it is important to follow the rules and be careful with personal information.

    LOL:
    Laugh Out Loud -- A comment made in response to something funny. Alternatives include ROFL (rolling on floor laughing), ROFLMAO (rolling on floor laughing my ass off).

    MAA:
    Minor-Attracted Adult -- A general term for adults who are attracted to males or females below the age of consent.

    MBC:
    Meta BoyChat -- The message board on which technical issues and issues of BoyChat’s operation are discussed.

    NT:
    No Text -- Written in a message subject window when the body of the message contains no text. NT is also written in the body of a message due to the fact a message cannot be posted unless something is written in the body of the message.

    PRF:
    Problem Report Form -- If a poster notices a rule violation in a post they read, they are advised to send a Problem Report Form to the Cogs so that the problem can be dealt with as soon as possible.

    PVF:
    Plain Vanilla Faggot -- A non-BL homosexual equivalent of a CHSC. (credited to Adam Selene).

    RL:
    Real Life -- Used to describe the off-line component of one’s life. Concerning meetings, it is used to describe a meeting in the flesh between two or more posters.

    TBL:
    Teen Boy Lover -- The label chosen by Boylovers with an AOA primarily for teenage, or post-pubescent boys.

    TPKA:
    The Poster Known As -- Used to specify a nickname.

    Troll:
    Someone who participates on a chat or message board with the intention to disrupt the board for his/her own amusement. On BC, this is oft times a vigilante, LEO, or BL-basher, who sometimes pose as BLs in an attempt to lure BLs into legal traps.

    YF:
    Young Friend -- A boy with whom a Boylover shares a relationship. Also LB: Loved Boy. The criteria of what warrants the “YF” title varies from BL to BL, whether a YF is a very close friend, or a boy that a BL sees around a lot. Note: neither of these terms necessarily denotes a sexual relationship.
