McAttack Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Being new to forums (only registered with Thai Visa) I am having trouble working out some of the abreviations. Although I come from an IT environment, one of my pet hates are abbreviations and keeping track of them all. I've worked out LOL (Laugh out loud), BTW (by the way), IMHO (In my honest opinion) but the rest are beyond me. Sorry for my ignorance.... Could some of you seasoned forum users get me up to speed so when I read your posts I know the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, when I see them I don't know what they mean so I can't remember them later on. Off the top of your head, what are some others that you know?

McAttack Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 IMHO AFAIK I C U R experts in abbreviations I don't want to be a PITA but is there anyone else in the LOS, especially BKK, CM that knows any more. Maybe HM, MIB or Toxin from TRT might know a few. OMG I'm starting to type like an experienced OP (PM me if you think not). FYI I have GTG now to have a QC ("Quick Coffee" abbreviation used at my place of employment) Maybe you can use it one day BTW and this may be OT but we need more posts about the BG, TG, GF, BF and how you P4P ASAP. Wolfie - Why FOAG when the well of information is here. Look how much I have learnt already. GTG GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
