[Dashing Dasher]

I thought it was time to start a list of useful acronyms - since I've seen a few that I had to actually look up in the last few weeks.

Please feel free to add your own.

TTFN

[Dashing Dasher]

A list for all of us.
Hope it comes in handy.

DD

[martin_fierro]

[Hoodlum91]

great list, but is there really a pressing need for "to be or not to be"? Is that something one types often?

[najida]

Thank you!

Oh,
on many of the chick lists,
DH means "Darling Husband" (OK, so lots of them use PITA too)

[Tijeras_Slim]

WTFIIWNM?

SATSE

[Petronski]

One of my personal favorites is missing: FOAD.



Also, FUBAR actually dates to WWII, as does, I believe, SNAFU.

[patton]

cool - many I did not know. I am not that geekly. ;)

[KoRn]

QFE!

Quoted For Emphasis.

[Tijeras_Slim]

DH means "Darling Husband

And if things go bad, you can say "He was a real DH!"

[Hoodlum91]

I like WOMBAT. I may use that at work!

[motormouth]

Good Grief, I just learned how to post pics, now this????

LOL
