Thanks guys.  In case anyone else was wondering...
BURP: Big Ugly Rock Piece - either of the mountain pieces, appearing usually in
   grey shades, but also tan, yellow, white and green.
BURPMAN: Big Ugly Rock Person Made Annoyingly Nonmobile - refers to the Rock
Raiders? monster.
CRAPP: Crummy Ramp and Pit Plate - the baseplate with a ramp and pit.
POOP: Piece [that can or should be made] of Other Pieces.
SNOT: Studs Not On Top.

I would like to submit the following new acronym for consideration:

SWAMP: Sticker Which Adheres to Multiple Pieces

I've been privately referring to them as SWAMPs ever since I encountered
them.

I think it is very appropriate, especially as I am now considering freeing
some elements from the SWAMPs that currently contain them.

Whoops!   I missed that one in my review of the acronym list.   I certainly
had no intention of adding a redundant entry to the already considerable
list.  Thanks for pointing that out.
