In a recent thread by SlickSpic, "Lifespan Of An ATF," Shadowcat corrected the use of the term ATF. I'd like to discuss it a little further. The terminology seems grossly misused on TUSCL. My perceptions of the proper use of the two terms:
ALL-TIME FAVORITE (ATF)
This is the dancer that you liked most in your club-going career. You could start with one ATF, and then find a better ATF. But, in actuality you can only refer to having one ATF at a time. Example: My ATF was a dancer I knew for four years. Even though I haven't even seen her for five years now, I still refer to her as my ATF. I still liked her better than any of the dancers I see now.
CURRENT FAVORITE (CF)
This is/are the dancer(s) you like best right now. It is acceptable to have multiple current favorites (as I do). The four that I do consider in this category, I also knew at the time I knew my ATF. (Their time with me overlapped.) Your CFs do not match the enjoyment factor that you get/got from your ATF.
Got something to say?
