Newbie Question

[HaoWan]

Ok, I've searched, but I can't find anything on this.... please help.

Does anyone have a link on the money system here... I have no idea what
$.5 or
$.75 means..

if it's $50 then why not just type in $50??

Thanks

$.5 = 150

Basically $ means 100 and so forth(ie $$ means 200, $$.5 means 250)

A green means 20 bux.

Everyone, there is a permanent post at the beginning of the review section that will tell you everything you want to know about abbreviations. Just refere to that. Easier for everyone instead of trying to ask you specific questions.

Hey, this is post #400 for me. Wow, what a trip its been!

Oh! I can't resist this one!

Please use the $ to designate that the currency quoted is dollars, followed by Arabic numerals properly designating the dollars, tens of dollars and hundreds of dollars (if it costs thousands of dollars, PERB doesn't want to hear about it!)

Right on the money! (pun intended) Using terms like "a brown and a red", or $.5 is ridiculous. It may confuse some people, and yet it isn't fooling anyone (such as LE).

 

[vancouverman]

Avery .... it is not about fooling anybody ... and especially not LE.

I believe this naming convention is a legal "hand-me-down" from US pooning boards.

Also ... every group has its "lingo" ... and this is just part of it.

ps.... look at your post ... "LE" is part of this lingo as well

 

[Mchatte]

Not just in the pooning industry. I remember when I was booking entertainment several years ago, "a buck fifty" translated into $ 150,000 U.S.

If it smells like a duck, flys like a duck, sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, then it's a fucking duck, got it!!!

You may be right about that (not the colours, of course), however, in Canada, it seems silly not to just state the price in plain language, since outcalls are legal, and MP's and incalls are rarely bothered by LE.

Also ... every group has its "lingo" ... and this is just part of it.

LE, BBBJ, etc. aren't so much lingo as short forms/abbreviations. Typing "BBBJ" saves many keystrokes over typing "bareback blowjob"; typing $$.5 saves no keystrokes over typing $250. It's not a big deal either way, but why not be clear?

 

[vancouverman]

not to get into the argument with you, but I ment more things like "Pearls" or "Pearl Necklace", or "Russian" or "Greek".

 

[lenny]

A nickel = $500

So how much is a dime?

1460

 

[EnglishGent]

Really confuse the issue!!

I could start using the english slang terms of score, ton, monkey etc for 20, 100 and 500!! But if I do this, I know some people will want to get paid in pounds rather than $ cos of the exchange rate
