Help,

Have tried searching, but there doesn't appear to be any info. Have been reading/posting on PH for a while now but there are still a load of acronyms that I can't work out. Can any one help with a few of the regular one?

Thanks

I also get stumped on these, I have worked out a few.

OP- Original Poster
OH- Other Half
IMO- In my Opinion
Fil- Father in law
Mil- Mother in law
FFS- For F***s sake
WTF- What the F***

These are the most common ones. I am stuck on BiB though, I know it is to do with the police?
