Crochet Slang Words

crochet slang words, what is frogging?

As a unique group that has spent countless hours in conversation, discussions and "frogging", crocheters have adopted their own acronyms and language, crochet slang words if you might call it that.

Some are humorous and some are threatening in a funny way. Nonetheless, these acronyms or our very own "slang" were intended to be a quick way of conveying a message during a conversation or discussion. They are, of course, meant to be funny and by all means convenient and easy to understand for all crocheters.
