Platinum One Acronym required

[simongr]

So we have a new level and we need a new acronym for Platinum One so I started a poll. So far I have seen:

PONE
P1
WP1
POW

Any preferences?

If a decision is made we could maybe update the title of this thread so people know what the acronym is (and update the abbreviations thread).

POO - Platinum One Obsessive

 

[medhead]

I've been swinging between

WPO and WP+++

PONE could be confused with xONE IMO.

Serfty has mentioned that the protocol is to convene a meeting in a lounge to finalise the term.

 

[simongr]

I read Serfty's comments after I posted the poll - need to add a few more options it seems. Perhaps the lounge meeting can opine on the top 3 choices?

 

[medhead]

I'm on the phone didn't realise it was a poll. Will have to vote later.

 

[notzac]

To me, none of these options fits quite so well as NYCguy's suggestion of SP (short for Smug Platinum)

 

[MiLK_MaN]

What about SWP/UWP? Super/Ultra Wanker Platinum.

 

[gumpy]

What about SWP/UWP? Super/Ultra Wanker Platinum.

I was going to post the same thing SWP.

If we need to stick to 2 letters as protocol I'd like to suggest DB for Douchebag

P1

Can't stand the WP term, as it usually isn't true. I think we might want to move on.

In my mind P1 sounds good. Of course, I'm open to criticism.

 

[ReLoad]

This is critical that we get this right folks, so we need to put some serious thought into it.

I'd like to suggest that Red Roo participate and we get some sort of official perspective on it

As I have already posted:

That original meeting was before my time; but when I came across it I thought "This is for me" with the basic 'Strine methodology of taking the micky out of "elite"; making it more egalitarian so to speak.

I do and will continue to use those terms; I've been a w@nker or Scum for many a year and happily wear whatever badge with good humour.

The WP/SF/PS/NB designators are indeed 'taking the mickey' - any such for Platinum one should continue in the same vein.

:idea:No one is forced to employ them. I do so with a smile.

Can't stand the WP term, as it usually isn't true.

aahhh....you haven't met me though!!

Seems logical to go for two letters

EP

Enhanced Platinum

Doesn't get any more insulting than "enhanced" - I believe The Oxford English Dictionary will be redefining enhanced in line with QF's usage.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Don't like any of those choices so not voting.

Maybe a mod edit it or could we just delete this thread and start again.

I thought either SP or PO were worthy but neither included.

 

[macrop]

If using 2 letters I would go for BW maybe - Biggest W......

 

[Taezar]

EW. Elitist Wanker? All in good fun of course!

 

[burrco]

I would have gone with MWP. Mega-wanker-platinum.

 

[Nigelinoz]

Platinum One= Plonker.:mrgreen:

OC - over compensating

 

[Princess Fiona]

What about SWP/UWP? Super/Ultra Wanker Platinum.

This was the one which sprung to my mind also.
I think we should keep the WP part for posterity and add a new pre-fix :
Super, Mega, Ultra
Probably warrants a "do" to thrash it out

P1, PO sounds like you're Pissed Off.
