G-O-T-H Thrift Hunting Glossary
I’ll be using some short versions of terms/slangs on the blog, I hope people could still ‘get me’. This list is by no means complete and I’ll be adding more as I blog and thrift hunt more.
Thrift Hunting – buying goodies {can be clothes, home items, furniture etc} at a discount/sale. Will also include second hand items. Can be from garage, yard sales, online sales, second hand shops. It can also include things you bought at a lot lower price than original price quoted after some serious haggling. We do salute top notch bargaining skills!
G-O-T-H – acronym for this blog – Girl on a Thrift Hunt.
BB – Best buy! Just the term for items snagged at a good price, good quality and good style.
FF – short for Fab Find. A favorite thrift hunt find.
Gold Mine – a shop/market/place to check out for serious thrift hunters.
IWT - short for I-Want-This! Something I want but can’t afford or logistics/geography doesn’t allow me to buy it.
IHT – I-Heart-This. An FF with an added obsession. Top of my favorite list.
OWSS – short for Online Window Surf Shopping. Another addictive past time of mine. You’ll see occasional posts tagged OWSS finds and they’ll most probably be tagged as IWT hehe..
UK - ukay ukay. Second hand goodies.
-SHIPPER – something I worship and adore! for example I’m a PURPLE-shipper. Or I am a Christian Louboutin-shipper {hehe coz I can’t afford one, but I like the design ideas so I just opted to become a ‘shipper’.
Spazz – Giddy, excited, happy, me freaking out or just a plain reaction to something weird/outrageous/fabulous etc. {Yes, thrift hunting induces ‘spazzing’ in me}
Flambo – will refer to someone with an outrageously flamboyant fashion sense.
DollarCatch – a really cheap find.
Bleh – a thrift/bargain find that ends up to be of boring, zzzzz!, ewwww, not good value variety.
HLM – Haggling Like Mad. Yup! I love markets, bazaars where you can haggle like there is no tomorrow. I’ll be posting some items bought after some serious, solemn and oftentimes nerve wracking HLM sessions.
