There is also a number that appear to love them

06. ABOY = All Because of You

Heh, I usually don't have much trouble with the acronyms, but when I saw the one for this song, for the longest time I kept thinking it was a title for a whole different song that wasn't on this album. It was driving me nuts, I was like, "What's this 'A Boy' song?!" And then I finally caught on . LOL.

The ones for "Sometimes..." and "Stuck In A Moment" are rather similar, so sometimes those trip me up a bit.

Hmmm, and where are we going with this thread???

I think it was intended as a helpful key. Thats my opinion anyway.

 

[U2Kitten]

If U2 would just quit giving their shit such long names we wouldn't have to use them

WWTPMF = Who Want's To Pull My Finger?

 

[orgilion]

Well, I can't really stand them*, so I decided to "help". Cuz it chaps my hide when I read a post that has a bunch of them in it, and I have to dig out the CD to figure out which song it is.

So, my apologies if this thread is a bit obtuse, but hey... I NEED MORE RESOURCES!!!

By the way, I love this forum! Thanks for being cool.

Might as well post every song from every album while you're at it IMHO LMAO WTF.

WWTPMF = Who Want's To Pull My Finger?

Is this from the digital box set? One of the rare, unreleased songs?

I think that's a special song for the fan who loves absolutely everything U2 has done or will ever do in the future.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

I will use acronyms for some of the medium to long names, but for songs like Vertigo or Yahweh...what's the point? You save about one or two letters of typing. lol. And for many long-named songs there are one-word ways of talking about it. Case in point: WTSHNN or Streets.

I was wondering what ABOY was from another thread....I thought it was a spelling error for Boy at first!
