Okay, English is not my native language although I can understand it pretty well and recently I've noticed the increased use of "abbreviations" (don't think that's the right word here).

I´m talking about things like IMHO. It took me a while to understand that it meant "in my humble opinion". Then there is IIRC which I have no idea what means. There are others I can't remember at the moment.  Is there a translation list of these things somewhere?  Could someone post a list if the these things they use the most?

I want to underline that I´m in no way annoyed by this. I just want to learn what these things mean so I don't have to guess in the blanks.

Ahhh! Thank you very much! It would have taken me quite a while to figure that one out.
People have been using that one quite a lot IIRC (see, it works! ;)

I generally use IMO, rather than IMHO, since my opinion is never humble. :) Simply put, there are two ways of doing things: The wrong way Sam's way :D

Acronyms!  That's the word I didn't know which made searching for it a difficult task. Thank you for the links.

Here's three you need to know around here:
NVIATWAS - naked viki in a temple with a sword
LBA - Large Breast Alert
PJCOM - poser just crashed on me (I'm really surprised this one doesn't exist yet)

WARK!

Nother useful one for computer types is RTFM. :) One we used back in my tech support days was EMD = External Mouse Driver. Generally the cause of most computer problems.

In my tech support days we used PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) fairly often.

WOOHOO!!!!!!  My LBA "Large Breasts Alert" made it in the list!!!!  I know it caught on with a few gallery posters but didn't think it would come into the mainstream!!!
