Hopefully, this answers your question on the definition of a FLyertalker DO:

If the link works! :)

As you can see by the number of posts on this thread, DOs are a popular thing among many a FLyertalker.

Many thanks Catman!

Just wanted to know what I'm getting myself into before heading off to Glasgow. ;)

The US do's aren't on the budget yet, but perhaps someday in the future.

Cheers,

Alex

Oh you'll be fine... the Glasgow Do looks like being a good one :)

Well we probably do not need a sticky as the thread referenced above covers it pretty well, and the question only comes up every 6 months or so.

I recall there was a restriction in Search for two (and possibly three?) character words to NOT be eligible?

Someone else might know more, but possibly that is why search did not help.

The spelling is often DOO so if 3 letters work you might get more matches.

I just went and checked the FT glossary to see what it says in there and oddly the term has never been updated into there.

I'll email Admin and suggest they add it, to assist newer members in future who might not be familiar with it. @:-)

This depends on the organizer's taste. The UK slang term for party is "do," with one "o," as was the original Cat Man Do usage. A scan of thread titles in Community suggests that usage leans heavily toward one "o," though ozstamps is definitely correct that the two-"o" usage exists and new members should be aware of it.

I'm looking forward to losing my Doo virginity in DUB next month. I've been assured there's no hazing of the newbie involved. :D

There is a “sticky” thread in this forum where you would have easily found the answer to your question, alex0683de, as well as other interesting information about the FlyerTalk community in general:

Most of the information is a click away once you read the first milepost of that “sticky” thread.

From Dictionary.com;

Oh gosh.. brawl? What do you londoners do at do's? ;)

Thanks Dan! But honestly there were pepple doing Flyertak events and get togethers before I did any of mine and I took my cues from them.

so I'm not hte only one responsible for this trend. But I did my part to help it along and some of my events held the record for best atended for quite some time! :)

Sorry if this caused any confusion.

There were FlyerTalk gatherings of all sizes before my do's. My events were just the first ones to use the word "do" here on FlyerTalk. It seemed to take hold and go on from there.

Since Catman bumped up an older, more comprehensive thread on this subject, I'll merge this newer, shorter thread into the larger one. Ocn Vw 1K, Co-Moderator, CommunityBuzz

I agree.

El Paso is going to host the first ever DON'T

:p

You asked for it, ozstamps...

...everybody else, please cover your eyes and ignore this milepost, as this is going to be rather messy...

======================

...so, if a FlyerTalk member is into scuba diving and wants to have an underwater FlyerTalk gathering, would it be called the Deep Doo Doo?

======================

I told all of you this was going to be messy. It serves you right for ignoring my warning not to read this milepost...

One of my trip reports has big do dos in the title :o

We usually start with an uproarious party and then finish with a brawl in a taxi :D

^ Where do I sign up?

I think TGflyergirl organised the last one - you'll have to ask her :D

Ooh! You can count me in as a definite for that ^

In the immortal words of myefre " EL Paso Who the hell came up with that rat hole? "

Now the question. If the Meet is being held in a "rat hole," should it be called a DO or a DON'T?

That can be answered sometime after February 20th :o

:p

thinking of DOs ... isn't there somewhere on FT a thread about the most fancy restaurant names? would JFE's count? ;)

I am not cooking fancy meals, just good old gathering food

Fajitas ain't gourmet, but if you are not careful, you can end up with beef jerky :o

then this DO would turn into a DON'T :D

And if there's a trace of water from across the border, you could end up with something that is rather uncomfortable.

That could happen even without that water :o

OMG. Imagine what he comes up with after a few drinks. ;)

Impossible.. we don't talk... :D

FYI, Canarsie's libations would not cause any change in his personality (unlike some that I know who shall remain nameless in this post). He is strictly non-alcoholic.

monitor - I have heard that diet Dr. Pepper turns some folks into uncontrolled demented manics.

Fortunately, my psychiatrist advises me not to drink diet Dr. Pepper. :cool:

Are you implying that the stuff you do drink has the seal of approval of your psychiatrist? :D

No my psychiatrist has no problem with that stuff.

It is my parole officer I have the issues with there. :p

I might have to email him, recommend that he installs monitoring software and blocks your access to 64.78.185.92 and 64.78.185.85

:p

No problems. They took away my telephone privileges quite some time ago. ;)

By the way ozstamps, we will definitely miss you at the ELP DO. I can guarantee it would be just your thing. You should see how cheap you can buy the beer (and damn good beer) in Juarez and nobody down there will bat an eye if you show up in a skirt.

Cheap booze at the ELP Dooo? No-one mentioned THAT. ;)

Well wearing dresses I am very comfortable with - heck this is Sydney, but wearing a hat like THIS from the recent Israel Dooo around Texas right now might earn me a few days quiet discussion with the FBI. :D

I thought I'd bump this thread up after almost a year of dormancy. I knew it existed, but it took a bit of creative searching to find it. Ms. tkey insisted on knowing why it's called a Do, and no one I asked at the FLL/PBI Do had a definite answer. Here it is!!

Actually, tkey75 there were a number of us in attendance who knew why Do's are called "DO's", but we were probably too busy partying and taking pics to respond.

OBTW, thank you more than I can say for organizing your wonderful PBI DO 2006. We loved every minute of the party, and were especially pleased that you managed to arrange the shuttle launch for entertainment. KUDOS ^

You did not have to do a Search at all, tkey75.

You would have easily found for what you were searching in this thread:

Perhaps I need to better organize that thread?

Anyway, we now return you back to our regularly-scheduled topic already in progress...
