Acronyms

on: August 27, 2006, 20:42:51 PM

Was just wondering how many acronyms there are in everyday use on forums like this.

below are some to start, add any more you can think of (no cheating):

btw - by the way
ftw - for the win
imo - in my oppinion
imho - im my humble/honest oppinion
tbh - to be honest
tbvh - to be very honest
lol - laugh out loud
rofl - roll on the floor laughing
afaik - as far as i know
ffs - for f**k sake

Wow, those look me longer than I expected, not on the top of my head as I thought.

There must be lots more ... go!

yup also "any recognition".

IBTL is normally used in response to a troll in a forum, I.E. the thread will be closed/locked as its breaking the rules.

QFT = This man speaketh the truth!

and QFE = well... just incase someone doesnt get the point, or perhaps a point is lost in a long paragraph, snippets can be quoted for emphasis.

American military jargon has tons. I like "BCGs" as in "Birth control glasses", the thick plastic army issue specs.

some more:

* SNAFU - Situation Normal: All f**ked Up.
* SNAFU - SPiffy nudered and f**king up
* FUMTU - f**ked Up More Than Usual.

* DILLIGAF/DILLIGAS - Do I Look Like I Give A f**k/sh*t? Interogative form of, "(It) dont mean nothing." Both often heard in Vietnam.
* TINS - This Is No sh*t! Often seen in veterans forums.
