Stands for Harmony Central Amp Forum. A place where scum guitar players hang out and discuss shit online. It is a purely man & boy zone. There are no females on HCAF. 50% of topics are about guitar playing the rest are off topic.

HCAF is dominated by metalheads. But if you wanna bring teh br00talz and you scoop your mids or have an amp powered by bees you will be laughed, and possibly battered, out of town.

It is plagued by trolls and has handbag drama going on a near daily basis. In comparison to other forums there is little moderation. An atmosphere of self-moderated anarchy is prevalent.

Keywords and phrases you should familiarise yourself with before you go to HCAF are: A2M, Gape, Asshat, Douche, Fucking Douche, Goatse, Gain, Butt Rape, Fucktard, Tweedbucket is a fucking cunt, Tubes, The inhabitants of Open Jam should be exterminated, Tone, Troll, Brutal, Wanking, STFU NOOB.
OJ Troll: I feel inadequate with my 15W Solid State Combo. I am so jealous of the HCAF guys with their large collections of powerful tube amplifiers and cabinets. I think I will go and troll them.

HCAF Guy #1: Go fuck yourself douche.
HCAF Guy #2: What a fucking asshat.
HCAF Guy #3: A2m/Gape?
HCAF Guy #4: Murder/Suicide?
HCAF Guy #5: Your mom is a crap fuck!!
HCAF Guy #6: pics?

The greatest forum on the planet. Ostensibly a place for people to discuss guitar tones (which they often do) it is often host to funny picture threads, hilarious n00b bashing, and humorous (and often ambiguous) use of emoticons. Also contains a number of "clubs" to which people profess their allegiance in their signature, which occasionally are "joined" to support for a particular manufacturer, e.g. the Mesa Boogie Mob or the VHT Death Squad, but are more often whimsical and rather meaningless, such as Renoir1's :o club and various other emoticon clubs. It has either popularized or invented notable memes, such as numerous pictures involving the faces or bodies of the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wilde and moshzilla photoshopped into various amusing locations, and slang as well, such as "teh br00talz" and "porcupwned." Despite all of its shenanigans, however, HCAF is actually quite a useful resource for all manner of amp- and guitar-related material, and can be very useful to beginners and seasoned tone veterans alike. The members tend to be very opinionated, however, with a notable tend towards tube amp-purism, and a general (though not universal) dislike towards certain manufacturers, such as Crate, Bugera, Krank and others which are seen as overpriced, overhyped, of low quality, or a combination the above.
(Topic on hcaf veers into a far-fetched religious discussion)

Poster A: In my life, the lack of religion is the greatest source of mental peace and also comedy, as I view shit like this and can't help but laugh. Break out, baby.

Poster B: Just remember:

Jesus is coming... that's why he's too busy to visit us here on earth.

Jesus saves...and he gets 25% interest.

Poster C: Jesus saves ... and at THESE prices, that IS a miracle!!!

Poster D: Jesus was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him

Poster E: Bugera 6260 :o

Poster F: lol only on HCAF :cop:

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
