Need to know what AFAIK means?
« on: May 21, 2001, 02:27:00 PM »
Or any other common Acronym used in Aces High or this BBS?

Check out the 412th FS web page and click on "Other Information" There is a whole table full them.

If any are missing, please post them here. I'll add them ASAP.

WTF hblair? It was less than 30 seconds I post this and you respond. I missed putting my signature on it before it was submitted, and I edit it to see you already responded.

SNAFU: Situation Normal: All fluffied up
FUBAR: fluffied up beyond all recognition

From work:

TLA: Three Letter Acronym

LOL.. Deja.. you being at Intel should know all about acronyms. That place is totally flooish as there are acronymns for just about everything.

I asked some people there what some of them meant, and They don't know.

I went to the acronym search data base for some of them... It don't know either...

The funny part is, just about anyone you see talking about qualifying a tool will throw this acronym around all day.

FM: fluff'n Magic

Similar to "NAFF", but it means "We fixed it but we don't know how".

F.A.B Simply means message received and understood.  From their website by Gerry Anderson, the creator.

An explanation here http://www.thunderbirdsonline.com/0401/vote0401_frame.jhtml

Keep the Blue Peter badge.  I have had one for 40 years :-)
