PetTheFabric ... I will need more info for inclusions, not just a suggested title.
As for your index/alphabetic request ... You will note, the original list is alphabetic.
I will follow a similar format for the 10th Anniversary list!
Likewise, inclusions will be mostly directly quilting/sewing relevant.
As for timing of the new thread, as mentioned, the target is the 10th Anniversary!
IceBlossom ... me too, PIGs still make me smile too.
Another one I love to see are our PhDs!

I love this list. It made me laugh, so I was being somewhat silly. Sometimes my dry sense of humor is totally off track. Sorry
As to an index, it was in reference to the length of the list. I read extremely slowly. It's a reading dissability of extremely narrow vision. (I read 3 letters at a time, then the next 3 and so forth until I get to a break. In my mind I put together the letters and figure out the word.) So I was trying to think of a faster way to find an abbreviation to use for a particular situation.

Many of these show my age. And mostly I'm being silly. LOL. Please, don't take this personally or seriously. OR maybe I'm just digging that hole deeper with saying all this. I do tend to stick my big foot in my fat mouth.
1. Brain Fart: a lapse in memory as in can't think of the right word
2. Old Ladies Syndrome; a lapse in memory as in can't remember how to do something I've done before,
3. Senior Moment; another lapse in memory usually with a total stop in thinking power
4. Hot Flash; overwhelming sense of heat or emotion or knowledge realization
5. My Own Personal Summer; a hot flash from menopause
6. It's hiding somewhere; I know it's here, but I can't find it
7. Now, where did I put that? We're moving, so the house is changed to showcase for potential buyer. I can't find where I put the rotary cutter, cutting mat, iron
8. WIC: walk in closet. Only In my dreams would I having this much storage for stash. Mine would need to be the size of a room, or maybe that's hoarding.
