On the "cleared" list for my ORD-DEN flight there is a DIC/K :eek:

On the standby list there is also a PRI/M and a very appropriate TEE/D :D

I'd be teed too if I was that low on the stanby list (which is currently 123 people long...

My son's name is Thomas.

I ain't saying anymore...

Sorry for OT, but g_leyser, which flight are you on tonight? Any VDB opportunities today? I'll be on the last IAD-DEN flight tomorrow. It seems to be oversold but would like some data points for comparison :)

As far as funny abbreviation, I saw COC/K in ORD last week :D

On my flight last Sunday I saw two KATs and one DOG waiting for upgrades. ;)

:D

This thread is going downhill fast. I feel a LOC/K coming on.

I hope not, I think its pretty funny. I never really looked before but I will in the future make sure to check the screens for some funny:D

DAM/N this thread is interesting.

I've seen:

WOO/T
WAN/T

I remember thinking "mayyybe they should do ABCD/E instead, seeing as four letters is just too enticing" when the screens first went up. But that's me, and my mind has been in the gutter all along.

I imagine the Yale Alumni office must be very proud. ;)

(Go Crimson!)

BAR/F

Ahaaaa. You mean, the dean? ;) I'm not quite an alumni yet.

I see mine all the time on the board: WAN/K

I started calling a friend SPA/M after their upgrade didn't clear, they didn't like the moniker.

I'm MAL/E, although I am not! :D

CAN/T STO/P THI/N KIN/G about THI/S thread.

What combinations are you thinking of ;)

Well I know what I'll be spending my pre-flight time doing from now on. :D

agreed! i'm surprised i haven't thought of this earlier!

I've seen:

ARS/E
DAM/N
DEA/D
JER/K

How about SCU/M? ;) Haven't seen it yet, bit I am sure it is a possibility.

Speaking for myself (and not the other volunteer moderators), I'm OK with the thread as long as the posts don't violate the FT Rules and Guidelines. The rule against posting "Obscene or Offensive Language" is one that comes to mind, and I'd ask posters not explicitly post abbreviations that would be in violation of this.

Thanks for everyone's understanding,

Seen on the cleared list: GON/E. I'll bet he or she was!

Right you are! My brother is SCU/M!
(and my mother, too, but I didn't say that!)

This is hilarious!!! :D

Best yet.

Is he perchance related to the Twaddells, with whom I attended school?

Saw this at DEN sometime last year. Seems like this person is in the right position on the list. :D

thats funny hopefully that was confirmed for First:D

Saw LAM/E at SFO on Christmas Eve. No picture.

On the standby list:

CRA/P

SFO - DEN on 12/26/2009

In DEN today, saw HAW/K and FAR/T on a board in the B-80s. The little boy in me giggled on the inside. On my board across the way, Mrs. RD showed up as REE/K. Heh hehs proceeded from my face, but she was unimpressed. Our upgrade cleared. ^

I saw SOU/P somewhere this week.

In October on the u/g list ORD-HKG , the person at #3 was

NEV/A

I hope their upgrades clear more frequently than their abbrev suggests :(

They missed that one. I was #2 and my abbrev is EVA/N, I heard the GA tell some one there were only 2 seats available, and at first glance I thought I was #3 :eek:

Saw two COW/S on a recent ORD-LGA, and a MOO/O recently but on a different flight!

RUM/P and SCA/R both on the standby list for IAD-FCO on the 29th.

Sitting at the gate in IAD
 

Waiting for UA 403 this morning. On the upgrade/standby list were: DUP/E and BEN/D.

That sounds like one of those really annoying 'wacky' FM morning drive-time shows.

The other day I saw

BEN/T
FOR/D
