LMAO? LOL! WTF?
We live in a world of TLA's (three letter acronyms) and FLA's (four letter acronyms), and even more FLA's (five letter acronyms). Hell, I even work for a TLA - IBM. Here, we have our own version of some TLA's and even have some SLA's...no, not six letter acronyms, rather Service Level Agreements.
Confused? I bet you are in some cases, cos I know I am...
I can be in a meeting at work and someone will mention an acronym, whereby I'll make the assumption that he/she means TLA(1), when in actual fact, they mean TLA(2). Even though they have the same abbreviation, they mean two totally different things and can confuse the hell out of a conversation. As intelligent people, I'm sure you can imagine...
So here's a short list of some popular TLA's and FLA's with their descriptions, the recognised version and my own:
Acronym Official Description (My Description)
FLAB Four Letter ABbreviation (Fat on a woman's arse)
FYI For Your Information (Listen up, asshole)
FAO Dunno (Fuck Away Off)
GETIFUYABASA (Ask Billy Connoly - self-explanatory, I thought)
IE Internet Explorer (Internet Exploiter)
IOW In Other Words (What didn't you get the first time, asshole?)
IMHO In My Honest Opinion (Would you buy a used car from this person?)
IBM International Business Machines (I've Been Moved, or, Install Bloody Memory)
JD Job Description (Jack Daniel's)
LMAO Laughing My Ass Off (Lick My Ass Oswald - something Drew Carey might say)
LOL Laughing Out Loud (Lots of Love, as my mum would say)
OFFS Dunno (Oh, For Fuck Sake!)
OMG Oh, my God! (Orchestral Manouevres in the Groin)
ROE Rules Of Engagement (Fish eggs)
ROTFL Rolling On The Floor Laughing (ROTi For Life)
TIMS Tactical Internet Management System (Something that belongs to Tim)
WTF What The Fuck? (What The Fuck?)
WTG Way To Go! (Nice one, dickhead!)
And, I'm sure, you have your own list of favourites...send me some...
