OP? what does it mean? Help for a newbie.

To me, the most confusing part is how it can mean "original post" and "original poster." I feel like I can never abbreviate it because it won't be immediately clear which I mean.

Contexst my friend, context! For example, "the arguments in the OP don't make sense" clearly refers to the content of the post, while "the OP is FTS Gecko" means the entire thread is clearly suspect.

Excuse me sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? Cuz if it leaks to the VC, he could end up an MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.

OP can mean a l of things but in X-Wing it typically refers to a hwk-290 that lacks a turret.
