I've been here a couple of years now, and I've seen many a cliche thrown around in these fine forums. I've found a number of them amusing, but have long forgetten most of them. Some are not unique to CPF, but many would make no sense to a non-flashaholic.

I thought it might serve as some light entertainment, and even be slightly educational, to list them here.

The ones I remember:

"Two is one, One is none"
"Cheap, Bright, Good. Pick any two"


Who can add to the list?

There is of course the CPF catch cry when faced with a decision: BUY BOTH!!
I guess calling LEDs "angry blue" is a fairly distinctive CPF thing too...

Cheers,
Alex

"Where is the pocket clip?"

"Is that offered in Neutral White?"

"Even though ______ is brighter, cheaper, and well-made, I prefer the Surefire."

Variations of "I just got this new light from DX. I swapped out the emitter, board, and switch because I had better ones laying around. Man this is a great little light for the money."
