[QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 2498636, member: 4"] Those of us who've been around a long time might use some shortcuts rather than typing out certain phrases. Unfortunately, people who don't surf the Internet a lot might not always understand what's being said. So here's a list of some common abbreviations and acronyms that you might have seen on the Boneyard or other Internet sites. Feel free to inquire if there are some that you've wondered about that aren't on the list. addy - Address AFAIC - As far as I'm concerned AFAIK - As far as I know BFF - Best friend forever bump - Bring/bump up my post. Usually posted to make a post rise to the top of the board. FB - Facebook FWIW - For what it's worth GOAT - Greatest of all time IAC - In any case ICBW - I could be wrong IDK - I don't know IIRC - If I recall correctly IMHO - In my humble opinion IMO - In my opinion IOW - In other words J/K - Just kidding K - Believe it or not, shorthand for OK. Don't ask me why 2 letters need to be abbreviated LMAO, sometimes LMFAO - Laughing my ass off. You know what the other letter means LOL - Laugh out loud NM - No message. If someone posts their thought in the subject line, they may put NM in the body of the post to indicate there's no further message OP - Original Poster, a person who starts a thread, it can also mean original post, the first post in the thread OTOH - On the other hand ROFL - Rolling on the floor laughing ROFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off SMH - Shaking my head TY - Thank you Basketball positions: PG - point guard, also called the 1 or 1 guard SG - shooting guard, also the 2 or 2 guard SF or F - Small forward sometimes called just a forward. Also called the 3 W - wing, a person that plays SG and F also called the 2/3 PF or F - Power forward, or the 4. Some people are 3/4 and have skills used by those that play SF or PF are just called forwards C or P - center or post, or 5. Players that are called posts usually have both PF and C skills although I have heard center and post used interchangeably [/QUOTE]
