What is an AB? I've seen it in a lot of posts and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

By the way I'm sure I'm going to smack myself right in the head when I hear the answer...

It's funny how your post title "I'm almost positive this is a stupid question..." pulled me in almost like how you have to slow down when going by the scene of a bad car accident. I couldn't not read it!

I always thought AB meant a bastard. Ha ha just kidding.

To be "Politically correct" should it not be a "Person with an able body" ?

You know , the whole "people with a disability" not "disabled person". The People first thing ? :licklips:

Correctly put it's 'gimps' and 'walkies'. LadyPilot...do you drive or fly through your house or a mall, etc.? Don't know what my point was but I bet it was a good one!
