| Hi - I am shopping for appliances for a new kitchen, and I've figured out some of the acronyms and nicknames used throughout the various message threads. However, I am at a loss as to many others. Some refer to brands, others to features, and yet others, as far as I can tell, refer to storefronts or sources of goods. Anyone want to take a stab at the most often used? Here's what I've figured out (not very much nor very hard...):
CD = counter depth
SZ = sub zero
JA = Jenn Air
KA = Kitchen Aid
Berta = Bertazzoni
Gagg = Gaggenau
BSH = ?? (what comes to mind cannot be what is intended...)
Anyone want to start a list and add as we go? Help a newbie!

| FWIW and PITA (i.e. cooking on sealed burners) are not specific to this board. Just internet and life in general acronyms. |
