What does BLD stand for?

[royzabeast]

At first I thought it stood for Blind, as in blind solving, but then I learned how to solve a 2x2 and I heard that it stood for Back-Left-Down, but then I usually heear it thrown around when peop;e are talking about blind fold solving. Wwhy?

It can stand for both, usually blind/blindfold, but it can be used to describe the back-left-down corner on a cube. The term could also be used more specifically when blindsolving to refer to the sticker thats on the Back side of the back-left-down corner. On top of that, variations are sometimes used to refer to different pieces on larger than 3x3 cubes. But the term is mostly known to mean blindfold solving.

You must often be very confused in life if you think that words can only have one meaning.

Yes, and it's not even a word, an abbreviation. I had to stop myself.

Obviously its a joke, if he didn't know that it stood for blindsolving, he wouldn't have posted it in the Blindcubing forum.

Shortening words by removing all vowels and the secondtolast noun is stupid

I don't think he was being mean, he probably thought the poster knew what BLD was and was posting this as a joke. Also you say 'always so mean', I've never seen byu be mean to anyone.

He also asked about Back-Left-Down, which can refer to a sticker being memo'd in blindsolving. He knew it was related to blindsolving, but wasn't sure how.
