What does "OP" mean?

[Tangocherie]

I've been a member of Cruise Critic for quite a few months and am guessing that the abbreviation "OP", often used on the forum, means "passenger". Am I right? If not, what does it mean and where does it come from?:confused:

Original Poster

..but in a totally different context

[paul929207]

On these boards, OP usully means the Original Poster for the thread. It is usually part of an attempt to bring the discussion back to the original question/comment.

..attempt at humour failed....

[uppitycats]

OP on these forums usually mean Original Poster -- or the person who posted the first question or message that started the thread.

[DanJ]

Sometimes just original post as well.

Nope. Today's weather 5-10 cm. (2-4 inches) snow. Temperature -1 C. (30 F.) It has been a looooong, cold winter!

As one of my favorite TV characters used to say.

 

Holy Crapola!!! You are about 1,000 kilometers north of us (& 2,000k west). But, we got a bit of that cold here in Maine this morning and a little bit of frost. Just how many hours of summer do you get? :eek: :D:D:D

Depends on the location. As an old joke goes:

 

What do you call snow removal in Calgary? Wait for chinook. (warm winds coming down from the mountains, for those not from AB. Melts that snow ASAP)

 

What do you call snow removal in Edmonton? Wait for June.
