SCN Urban Dictionary

[Former Member]

Hi SCNers,

Over time every community develops their own little language or terms that you get to know when you hang around long enough in that community. It is also called slang.

I created a wiki page that is collecting these terms for your entertainment and to make it easier for new community members to get up to speed.

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/SCNUrbanDictionary

First term guestification from Julius Bussche.

Please do the needful

Thanks in advance, Mark.

I searched a lot but...

Usage: The RoE-aware-OP uses this sentence as a camouflage to post his/her Basic questions.

Origin: The usage of this phrase began (and surged) during the (ongoing) stricter moderation era, since most mods are ready to strike down any Basic FAQ on face value.

Meaning: The OP just does not have the time or the patience or the skill to search and wants a quick answer from the forum, without (hopefully) getting the thread deleted.

Hi,

I think we need to add VS a.k.a Versus, the original meaning is "playing in opposition to", but if it is used as Smartforms Vs Sap Script, it implies that the thread starter wants to know all the differences between the two (probably for a interview preparation ).

now a days we call SCN users flocks. a flock with lots of ponits is a flockmaster. a flock with some administrative power on SCN is floderator, a flock with some reputation a flontor. and finally, a flock who didn't play according to the rules is soon to be a flost.

now a days I am so funny (and I managed to use 'now a days' twice three times in this post. and I resisted the temptation to use 'thrice' in the last sentence ) ...

[jurjen_heeck]

What the flock?

[Former Member]

and SCN n00bs shall now a days be referred to as NKOTF.

[jurjen_heeck]

[Former Member]

[jurjen_heeck]

Go figure what means!

Automizing : [Duplicate post|; your customer's specs to multiple forums and, while you grow a beard, wait for answers to either magically appear or be copy&pasted from other customer's solution documents.

[Former Member]

How about "points awarded for sure" meaning "I'm going to ignore all answers".

or

"Help me plzzzzzz"

I am about to add Thanks! to the dictionary but since I am not fully sure if it is a legitimate phrase under certain circumstances I put it here for discussion first.

I have often been wondering why people who answer a question end their posting with 'Thanks'. Why does someone contribute a solution (i.e. give something) and then in addition thank the OP when it actually were up to the OP to say thanks to the one answering his 'query'(sic!)?

I suspect that this emerged from begging for ponits(!), where a variant was to thank the OP in advance for giving ponits.

What do you think?

[jurjen_heeck]

I vote for the thanks in advance, and yes, it does belong in the dictionary just for that.

Thanks!

I think we should add the word "Guru"... meaning: "whoever can answer a question that is wrecking my head no matter if you copy & pasted the answer or hit the jackpot while thowing arrows at it"

[jurjen_heeck]

Doesn't guru mean "the one who does my reseach for free?"

[Former Member]

> thanks in advance

It has gained sufficient momentum that I have even seen it abbreviated many times as well.

TIA,

Julius

[JPReyes]

Doesn't guru mean "the one who does my reseach for free?" 

Yeah that too...

[Former Member]

well, TIA to end the original question IMHO is perfectly okay but TIA ending an answer can only refer to points or another kind of bribery

[Former Member]

I think we can construct a whole sentense using abbreviations...

>RTFM!

>TIA...

>0,02c.

>HdE,

>Julius

Which reminds me that we should not forget "sms-speak"...

[David]

Thank you Mark!

I love this. I'm going to add a few myself.

[former_member374]

The SCN slang: guest-o-blaster and sZombie just made my day. Thanks Julius, Mark.

[Former Member]

Hi,

for me it sounds crazy always if somebody talks about transportation in terms of importing requests in the target system. May be it should be added too.

Siggi

[Former Member]

For those of you who were wondering what an sZombie would look like, you can keep an eye on these two threads:

and .... and many more....

Note down the user ID number ... then you can see the "Before", "During" and "After" images of the journey into and unexpected emergence back out of the Guestworld .

ps: This is live "Poing-Pong" action... so get yourselves some popcorn and enjoy the show...

Cheers,

Julius

Is this a trick question? There's already a wiki page about [doing the needful|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_the_needful]

[Former Member]

Wow, very interesting wiki page.

"Do the needfull" already used in the 1600s !!

It wasn't a trick question, just a gentle hint. I think "Do the needful" needs to be included in our SCN Urban Dictionary. As it found quite some prominence here in the forum.

In the entry there should be a link to the Wikipedia page too.

Hope to get to it later, Mark.

[Former Member]

i think the word OP also deserves its place in the list.

[jurjen_heeck]

> Hope to get to it later, Mark.

Been there, done that

[former_member184555]

Hi Mark,

You can also add the word Link Farming

Thanks,

Ravi

[Former Member]

So we can also add "Updation" and "Upgradation" to this wiki ?

[jurjen_heeck]

I think the true nature of a wiki means you're welcome to upgraduate it yourself!

[former_member374]

>

Absolutely excellent words to be added.

The beauty of a wiki page is, that no one owns it. Please add the two terms even if you don't know all the information, someone else will.

Thanks, Mark.
