Acronyms

[Bazooka Joe71]

I actually was going to start this thread awhile ago, but I lost the peice of paper I was writing down all of the acronyms i did not know on. I'm pretty sure of what most of them are but there are a few that I still haven't figured out and feel stupid for asking

Since I can not think of hardly any of them right now, I'll just start with one:

BTW, what does that stand for??

Please, if you can think of the other ones, post them too as well, I'm sure there are some that I do not know.


Thanks guys

BTW = "By the way."

BTW, if you click on the THR Library link (top right hand of this screen), there is a library of stuff, including lists of acronyms and their meaning. FWIW.

Hey Bazooka Joe 71 - BTW means "By the Way"

If you look in the upper right corner of the screen you will see THR Library. There is a list of acronyms there. HTH

[Geronimo45]

MIM, CQC, CQB, BHP.

 

[redneckrepairs]

Machine Injected Moulding , Close Quarters Battle , Browning High Power , and i assume Close Quarters Course ( training )

 

[distra]

MIM Metal Injection molding
BHP = Browning Hi Power
CQC= Close Quarters Concealment
CQB= Close Quarters battle

 

[Mumbles_45]

YMMV?

 

[Hemicuda]

I do believe that CQC is Close Quarters Combat...

 

[PinnedAndRecessed]

YMMV is "Your mileage may vary", IIRC.

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

LOL(laughing out loud by the way)! My favorite is BOHICA....Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

What is IIRC?

 

[Geronimo45]

IIRC - if I recall correctly.

Yeah, they all are there, even ones I don't know.

 

[distra]

I do believe that CQC is Close Quarters Combat...

Blakhawk makes CQC equipment http://www.lapolicegear.com/blcqcho1.html
they say "concealment", maybe "combat" is not PC

 

[spankaveli]

blackhawk's cqc is close quarters concealment because their cqc line of hoslters are supposed to be concealed carry owb holsters, but generally speaking the second c in cqc would be combat...


****? diaf? ****? omg? ***? lol!!

Here's a doozy (letters have of course been anglicized from Cyrillic)

NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT : The laboratory for shuttering, reinforcement, concrete and ferroconcrete operations for composite-monolithic and monolithic constructions of the Department of the Technology of Building-assembly operations of the Scientific Research Institute of the Organization for building mechanization and technical aid of the Academy of Building and Architecture of the USSR.

 

[Fly320s]

Remember, folks, if a new word is formed by parts of other words, then it is an acronym. e.g: RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR).

FWIW, IIRC, HTH, YMMV are all initializations.
