    Is it possible to add the official bloggers definition for "+10" to this list? It seems to be a bit of a controversy on the yahoo blog.

    Wow, a few of these go pretty far back, like "FASDA Future Arsenal Striker (in Neal's fondest wishes) Dean Ashton"

    Here are a few more of the Blog vernacular:

    Bily = Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
    KGB = Kevin Prince-Boateng
    BBBF = Big Bad Brad Friedel
    Roonaldo = Wayne Rooney
