Is there a Glossary of terms used here?

I am new to Talk Of the Villages. Is there a glossary on this site? Many acronyms and the use of initials escape me. Some I have been able to figure out: TV- The Villages; TOTV- Talk of the Villages.

In many threads it appears the use of different abbreviations are used to describe the same thing VCDD, CDD etcetera.

For example what does the term "Frog" mean?

VCDD=Village Community Development District
CDD=Community Development District

Snow birds come in for most of the winter. Snow flakes are in and out several times.

TF Hutch, Welcome to TOTV. I agree, there are a lot of acronyms used on this board. A couple more you may encounter for the two town squares: SS = Spanish Springs Town Square. LSL = Lake Sumter Landing Market Square.

You'll like it here IMHO. (In my humble opinion)

Hi TF Hutch,

Welcome to TOTV!

Snowbirds: come here for the winter
Snowflakes: come here whenever they get a chance throughout the year.
Frogs: Are full-time residence who have no intention of ever moving away. They are "here 'til they croak".

Pretty ribbiting , huh?

So TF, for this thread, you are the OP.

roll bar = walker
kick stand = cane
air head = one how uses an oxygen bottle to assist breathing
bird cage = screened enclosure over a pool or patio.
bird season = Jan - Mar

Snow crabs = cranky, whiney winter visitors

Now we need a term for cranky, whiney year round residents. "Snow Frogs"? "Whiney Frogs"?

Is there a Glossary of terms used here?
