Hey, I'm kinda seeing a pattern here: SNOT, BURPS, CRAPS, etc. What will TLC
come up with next, FARTS? POOPS?

First of all, TLC didn't make these up, we the people of lugnet did. And
there allready is a POOP: peice of other parts/peices.

BURP and CRAPP predate LUGNET. These terms came from RTL, the usenet
newsgroup formerly known as rec.toys.lego. I *think* SPUD and POOP also
predate LUGNET, but I'm not sure...

Not TLC-- most of these come from rec.toys.lego. I'm fairly certain that the
Crummy Ramp-and-Pit Plate is Eric Pilcher's fault; not sure who originally
committed Studs-Not-On-Top or Big Ugly Rock Pieces.
In the same vein, people have indeed kept working on those names; POOP was
determined to be a Piece Out of Other Pieces, but as such things tend to
be, only the really worthwhile ones tend to stay in use; I only ever tend
to hear the terms SNOT and BURP; I suspect CRAPP would be in use if it were
still 1996 and every castle TLC made was perched atop one.
