Title: Acronyms
Post by: slimm50 on February 23, 2004, 12:22:37 PM: Occasionally I'll run across acronyms (sp?) in these threads that I don't recognize. Sometimes I can look at the context in which they're used and figger 'em out. But there've been a few times my pea-brain just can't get wrapped around 'em. So, let's see your fav/ most-used short-cuts. I'll start off with:

AFAIK: "And for all I know" (I think)

Post by: ra on February 23, 2004, 12:25:05 PM: afaik = as far as i know
Title: Acronyms
Post by: Octavius on February 23, 2004, 12:25:29 PM: Always read AFAIK as "as far as i know"

lol = obvious

FWIW = for what it's worth

YMMV = your mileage may vary

ROFLMGDFAOYSMFBHHH = ??
