What is NOID? I keep seeing it and trying to figure it out, but now its time to know. Thanks.

Hi Carol it means there is no identification of the cultivars name. Took me awhile to figure it out.. Better to ask. Welcome to ATP.

No wonder I couldn't see it. It's NO ID, not "noid". Sheesh. Thanks, Leslieray

Hi Carol, Welcome from me too!

It was quite perplexing to me, the first time I saw the word noid as well as a few other strange ones. I prefer typing it out as No ID or No identification but in this technical age, noid seems to be the norm. I remember a few years ago when someone on another site explained the meaning of a bunch of words that were very strange to this old gal. The only ones I remember right off the top of my head are:

DH - Dear Husband
SO - Significant Other
DD - Dear Daughter
DS - Dear Son
TY - Thank you
TYVM - Thank you very much
TTYL - Talk to you later

@CarolHB. I have always seen the NOID used but the previous explanations are dead-on. I probably have three dozen orchids that are labeled "NOID". I am just waiting for them to bloom and when I see those flowers, I will know what orchid variety they are. Those "NOID" labels will slowly disappear.

There are so many Forum Abbreviations it is hard to keep up with them.

Lin, you forgot my favorite: DYC

@Daisyl ... ok, call me old but what is DYC? I can't figure that one out.

D....n yellow composite

A perfect description of every daisy I have ever met.

All these abbreviations are really interesting. Human ingenuity at work. Thanks for all the help. Carol

Welcome to the site Caroll. I used to know some friends who lived in Huntington Beach. Had a neat visit there (in the 80's).

My sister-in-law and her husband lived in Manhattan Beach for a number of years. They have retired to Arroyo Grande. My wife was born and reared in Fresno but she's been here in Mississippi for 46 years. We have been married for 44 of those years.

Again,

A few more I've seen:

YMMV: Your mileage may vary
FWIW: For what it's worth
IMHO: In my humble opinion

My brother lives in Huntington Beach as well. I spent the first 40 years of my life in Hawthorne, just a few miles north of there.

Welcome to All Things Plants, Carol !

The abbreviations can definitely get confusing -- it seems the people that do a lot of texting (that wouldn't be me, for sure) have a LOT of them...

a couple that took me quite a while to figure out were YMMV (explained by Woofie, above), and WRT ("with regard to").

Never be afraid to ask -- chances are good that if you don't know what something is, someone else that's reading it doesn't either!

I love asking questions, especially of people who know the answers - and have yet to find anyplace to look up abbreviations, at least one that has them all. HAGD, and thanks for all the welcomes. Carol

Thank you Moonhowl - I'm going to bookmark these sites so I can try to keep up with the young'uns.

Carol! My Formative Years were spent in Cerritos! But I've been a Texan going on 38 years. Here's one:
IIRC=If I Remember Correctly

There was one that eluded me for quite awhile. I can usually guess them from the content.

YOLO=you only live once.

I could not for the life of me figure that one out!

You are most welcome Carol.
