Any of you ever wonder what all the slang terms like BTW, TTT, IMHO, PITA, GMTA and more mean? Gotta say that I recognize some of them off by heart, but there's always a new one that catches me off guard. So I went looking on the web for computer slang. This web page has ads at the top, but if you scroll down, there's a whole wack of computer slang terms that you can use to decipher the acronyms that sometimes get posted and don't make sense.

IAC, HTH when U STW. Anyway IANAL and have found YAA that I'm ROTFLMAO about. Will U CNP? AAR, TFN. BSEG!

I have to look some of them up like NSFW

 

...and that would be because of the gorillas, or your ability to turn wrenches?

 

Candidly,

I learnt it on another Olds Forum that seems to have younger guys on it and some fairly raunchy stuff.

 

Not Safe For Wrenches?

They have younger guys on the Cartoon Network site and it's really raunchy compared to this place too.

 

I'm scared!

 

Kinda reminds me of this poem...

MR Ducks
MR Not!
OSAR!
CMEDBD *****?
LIB!
MR Ducks!

 

Heard that one when I was down visitin da rock. Helps when you've had a few beers.

For doze uv ya wat needs a trranzlater:

Em are Ducks!
Em are Not!
Oh, yes dey are!
See dem iddy biddy wings?
Well, I'll be
em are ducks!!

Way to go 67 cutlass. You reminded me of my Dad and his unique sense of humor. Also, don't look up when ders a flock of ducks flying over, eh??

 

LOL

 

I find it difficult to read a post with those acronyms in them. Old school I guess.
I just found out yesterday that BLOG is short for WebLog. Heard it on a radio programm..... sheesh I am old school.

 

OK.....

So what's a wag?

?? Women Against Goats ?? JK, JK.... TTYL!!! LOL!

 

Left turn Clyde........................

 

Allan, you put an "r" in your explanation of NSFW. I believe the last word should be "wenches".

 

Wildassguess!

So... Then a swag is....????

Ralph

 

Scientificwildassguess???

 

RIGHT!!!! You get a free trip to your trunk!!!

I was at a lake & saw a man about to drink water. I shouted: "That's a contaminated lake! You could die from it! He shouted: ( in broken English): I understand you not! I not understand good English!
So... I said "Drink slowly-- the water's cold!!"

JOKE!!!!

Ralph

 

Precision guesswork (PG) - it's my career...

Almost TFABAAG!

 

I'll bite, what's TFABAAG? The friggin aardvark bagged another alpine goat?

 

Typical pre-weekend saying - time for a beer and a girl...
Part of the vocabulary of the AEWPTUAFE (association of engineers who prefer to use acronyms for everything).

 

NNITA? (Not necessarily in that order?) Up here we just say, I5AOIQT! (its five oclock and its quittin time) HAGW!

 

LOL!!! I'm glad you asked first!! As I ask my daughter, "can't we just spell the whole word?" My brain is just too tired for this crap!

 

It's 5:00 somewhere......

 

Either order is fine.
And we all know HAGW = how about a good woman!

 

C'mon down girl,
Alan, Jimmy and I were just ready to fire up the Merc and spin on down the Chattahoochie headin for Margueritaville....Anyone remember what side the navigational beacons are supposed to be goin by on?

 

LOL

 

Nope, just keep it between 'em!!

 

Good one Rob, I didn't know that...

FYI, after you've finished your next pub crawl looking for that perfect woman, you might be a little blurry eyed, so I thought you might need this for reference:

Picture of A Perfect Woman
