TMN. An award given to someone who has posted something but has been ignored, only to find that shortly afterwards someone else posts the very same thing and gets the credit.

The ominous silence can only mean that someone, somewhere, is working on a devastating, once-and-for-all putdown of an acronym for TBM.............

And N+1 means the number of bikes you own plus one meaning you should always have one more bike than you already own. Yes, it's confusing.

I have seen this on a motorcycle forum like this, and it is 100% applicable to bicycles:

"What is the ideal number of motorcycles to own?"
"n+1, where n is the number you currently own. This can be alternatively expressed as s-1, where s is the number that will result in separation from your partner."

Local Bike Shop, took days to figure out what it meant...

Yep, me too, couldn't figure out why I'd want to take my bike to the London Business School.

Oh and TLA obviously (Three Letter Acronym)

"Put your furniture in the centre of the room " means adjusting your male equipment into a central position.
