Abbreviate This!

While talking with a friend of mine who will be starting at Hastings in the coming days, I asked which book he had for "K." He replied, "K?" That little tidbit has inspired me to create a list of abbreviations that you may encounter and/or should use while in law school and beyond.

- K = contract(s)
- Rst, R2d (and anything else you can think of) = Restatement of the law of _________ (the blank is typically filled by such topics as Torts, Contracts, Circus Freaks, Gravity, Murphy, etc.)
- Greek letter pi = Plaintiff/royally screwed person who can only hope to get to par in life
- Greek letter delta = Defendant/sleazeball, already ahead of the game (note: the above are reversed in crim law).
- Ct = Court, God, JesusAllahBuddha
- Ppty = Bubble in today's market
- FRCP (for those who couldn't wait until the 18th Edition of the Bluebook was released, and you know who you are, I'm aware that the proper citation is Fed. R. Civ. P.) = Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Ct.
- UCC = U Get HH in K.
- MPC = Model Penal Code. Reads like a Nietzsche treatise on attempted armed robbery.
- O to A, STFU = Your thoughts during 95% of comments from classmates where O = original possessor of thought and A = recipient of thought.

I'm intentionally omitting clever shorthands for professor names, e.g., P Dub = Peter Westen. So aside from those, did I forget anything? I know our wonderful ASP tutor from last year had a list that I've conveniently misplaced, so if you REALLY want to learn this crap, just harass them.
