Abbreviations

[gtr-gaz]

It's taken me some time to work out what they mean on here!

I think they should come under a FAQ for new members, or has this subject been covered before. (If it has I apologise. Too much time at work!)

Ones I think I have sussed are:

IMO In my opinion
IMHO In my honest opinion
IIRC If I remember correctly
FFS I think I can work that out!!
same with WTF!

Not sure about LOL- Lots of love?

Any others I should know?

Been covered many a time if you do a search you will come up with loads.

FFS - For fsck's sake
WTF - What/who/where the fsck
TLA - Three letter acronym
NSFW - Not Safe For Work

Can be used in combination such as OMGSTFU!

Oh My God

Combined with

Shut The Fsck Up

BTW (By The Way) fsck is the unix command to check the file system of a computer for errors, and is the preferred substitution swearword of techs
