but no such luck. What do you guys mean by "HO" and "teh"? I think I got the "Mang" thing down, but where does the Panther reference come from? I guess that's it for my stupid questions for today.

HO means High Output, as in the higher performance parts used in Mustang 5.0's as opposed to the lower performance parts used in Panthers.
Panther is the platform these cars(Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Towncar, Wagons, Marauder) were built on, kinda like Mustangs and Capri's were built on the Fox chassis at one point. The Panther platform started being used in the 79 models and is still being used in the 06 Crown Vics/Grand Marquis'.
And "teh" is just another way of saying "the", we do that sometimes around here, or it could be a typo. It probably started out as a typo and someone thought it sounded cool so they started using it.
Hope this helps, and don't be afraid to ask questions, we're here to help.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

One thing to be sure of is that you're pronouncing mang correctly. It's not phonetic, i.e., it doesn't rhyme with fang. It's pronounced like "main". It's a reference from the movie Scarface, or so I'm told. I've never seen the movie, but I guess it's from that.

"teh" was started as a typo, and people kind of made fun of it by using it all the time. Similar to people that say something exciting and finish off with "!!!111ONE ONE" It started as a typo because people would pick up the shift key before they were done making exclamation points, and then the internet started poking fun at it by spelling out one.

This is where Dan's suggestion of a Manganese thread would come in handy.
