From another thread…

We have a lot of CAFA designers in the GTA, and lots of high-end shops. <snip> … JB's orders are well cared for, just like any other florist. The Urban type OG's get bounced. FST was put on notice 6 months ago or more that they are PNG because of a variety of problems. <snip> … but so does any item delivered by a FWOAC.

What do CAFA, GTA, JB, OG (this one I know), FST, PNG, FWOAC mean?

Does FC have any abbreviation FAQ somewhere? I know only a few: WS (Wire Services), OG (Order Gatherer), dOG (deceptive Order Gatherer). What else do I need to know?
 
FST = Flowers Sent Today
FWOAC = Florist Without A Clue
IMO = In My Opinion
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
JB = Bloomz (Jon B_____)
BTW = By The Way
.con = FTD or any deceitful .com
ROFLMAO = Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off
LOL = Laughing Out Loud

I only started getting some of these after paying attention for awhile, and reading old posts. I forget what PNG was ... an abbreviation explanation would be nice, but I think you kind of catch on after a while.

HTH (hope that helps!)

CAFA: Canadian Academy of Floral Arts


" The Canadian Academy of Floral Art was formed to recognize and honour the artistic talents of Canadian Floral Designers as an art form. Membership is only available by successfully completing a rigorous two-phase examination process. All members are permitted and encouraged to add the initials CAFA following their name. The Canadian Academy of Floral Art is proud to recognize and promote the artistic talents of Canadian Floral Designers to the public and to the floral industry.

The Canadian Academy of Floral Art recognizes floral design as an art form and honours those with the ability to take their skill and creativity a level beyond that of the everyday and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Membership is obtained through a series of photographs and an on-site testing of artistic abilities. A screening committee chosen by the Academy reviews each applicant. A decision will be made to determine if your design capabilities are at a level to allow you to participate in the examination."

Good point - of course you could add HOG as an exclusive (Honest)

aww hell now we're getting all cornfused again

The point I am trying to make is OG is not a negative word any more, and it's silly to keep using it as such. All you do is alienate successful florists by labeling them with an attempt at negativity. And all sucessful florists gather orders.

FWOAC's let others gather them for them and wait for the merc or duck to go off.

opinions vary

I have to agree with this regarding "OG" .....Any progressive florist with a website that does all they should, SEO wise, to be on Google's first page (and better yet, first listings) for a Google search "Your Town Florst" or "Your Town Flowers".....would be clasified as a OG then. I just think SEO is good business by a florist.....and I bet a sucessful florist.

Added- I am not trying to hijack this thread on starting the whole OG thing again.
 
I am not getting into the OG thing again. . .

but a vendor let me know of a new acronym.

Is There Anything Else I Can Help You With?

I haven't looked at it in some time now, but I have the feeling that you Jason would apply negative labels also to the Florists that go on the Top Members trips for the wire services.

Am I wrong?
