Concerning acronym, check http://www.lugnet.com/~88/acronym_faq/all
You will find :
"BURP: Big Ugly Rock Piece - either of the mountain pieces, appearing usually in
grey shades, but also tan, yellow, white and green."
curiously "LURP : Little Ugly Rock Piece" ( http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6083
) is missing.
about Juniorized theme discussion part you will also find
"POOP: Piece [that can or should be made] of Other Pieces."
and
"SPUD: Special/Single Piece/Purpose Ugly/Useless/UnLEGOish Design/Decorative.
Many people think that the many meanings of this acronym make it a great one, as
it is not Single Purpose at all."
Are Juniorized parts POOPs and SPUDs ?
