Neologism du Jour
OK, so it's more of a Neo-Synthetic Acronym, and I'll probably be the only person ever to use it, but it's as good an excuse as any to put something in LJ after so many months:
FAQ/NABAQ - Frequently Asked / Never Asked but Answered Questions =df.
A list of questions, with answers, added to a web site. In some cases these questions will be garnered from actual information requests to the owners of the web site. In many cases, these questions will be an anticipated set of questions that the web site maintainers created. In other cases, the questions and answers provided will only be a subset of questions with carefully sanitized, non-controversial responses. For example, I would be very surprised, if
Exxon-Mobil had a FAQ list online, that it would address any of the myriad of questions that consumers might have about the patterns of gasoline pump prices as correlated with crude oil prices, refinery output statistics, corporate profits, and executive compensations ... just to pick an easy example out of thin air.
