http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif I think you found the true definition as it applies to FT.

Oh, you've met me (and auh2o, and matt/koko/afreak and . . . ).

Well, certainly in choosing among the synonyms "party," "do," "rave," "affair," "event," "fiesta," etc., someone may have been subconsciously influenced by the appropriateness of the acronym!

"Drinking Opportunity" indeed! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

To this day, I can't go to the RCC @ IAD without laughing about that weekend. :)

I would think that wouldn't be too far from some of us not being able to resist the urge to look underneath hanging pictures in the Seattle RCC to see if a certain two-dimensional FTer is still hanging out in the conference room! ;)

In the words of ZZ Top: I'm Nationwide! :cool:

... and if you flake on London, Bingo and I might make you international. ;) :p :cool:

Just for that uncalled for comment you will be punished.

I am only buying your first two pints! :mad:

Bingo gets three! :p

:D

What's a DO?
 
On this board I've seen talk of a "SIN DO," a "UA DO," and a "March DO."

What's a DO?

It's not in the glossary, and the term is too short for a forum search!

DO is short for DOodie, which is what Ted is.

A DO on Flyertalk refers to a 'party/get together' somewhere in the world.

ie. The SEADO takes place annually in Seattle. You can keep up with these things by reading the Community forum.

All are invited to attend these functions.

How does "DO" translate to "party/get together?" (I though "DO" was "doctor of osteopathy.") What goes on at such events? Principally an opportunity for those FTers traveling out of the same airports to put a face to the posts?

In English, a "Do" also means a party.

What goes on beyond the cameras is a secret (there are some Do photos posted various places)
