Thread: List Your Acronyms Here

It sure seems that with the ever increasing communications being phone text, email, and the plethora of Internet forums, the world of acronyms and their uses has exploded!

Howabout we all list them here in order that we may educate each other on the finer points of acronyms

List'em if ya got'em and help out us who are not as savvy as you-all

I'll start with the ones I know, (which is not too many)

AFIK - "As far as I know"
IMO - "In my opinion"
FTF - Face to face"
WTT - Willing to, (or, wanting to) trade"


O.K.... You're next

TBH - To be honest
IDK - I don't know
IDC - I don't care
ATM - At the moment

There's also a glossary of terms here: http://www.northwestfirearms.com/forum/glossary.php

I'll be following this thread to update it with the ones we don't have in there already.

FWIW = For What It's Worth
AFAIK = As Far As I Know
IMHO = In My Honest Opinion
BG = Bad Guy
MWAG = Man With A Gun
TEOTWAWKI = The End Of The World As We Know It
SHTF = Fecal-matter Hits The Fan
GTG = Good To Go
HSLD = High Speed Low Drag (if I ever ever use this in seriousness, shoot me)

WTF - "What the heck" (f&*#)
POTUS "President of the United States"
