BOHICA--bend over, here it comes again
also for fubar--the usual milspeak--you will require a reversed chastity belt (or keep your back to the wall)
TDAA--total dumb a$$ attack
 
Many more of these, and we'll have to assign an ACO just to keep track.
IBTL can also be "I Beat The Lock!"











ACO = Acronym Control Officer
 
Personally, I like it when people use REAL words in their sentences unless it is 'not allowed' because of the politically correct stance that has taken over so many gun and political boards. I call that the 'weenie factor'! NO offense. Pity party folks, sniff, sniff, tears welled up in the poster's and readers eyes. Gag a maggot time.

I would rather have someone explain an incident instead of SNAFU - my late husband used to say that sometimes among OTHER things. Wink, wink!

I do like the KISS method though...

Keep it simple stupid.

Some of the symbols or 'smilies' are fine but I think that SOME of them are rather childish. Oh yes, NO offense.

I don't mind the smile :) one and some other ones but their are a FEW smilies on this board, other boards too, that just want to make me S C R E A M!

GRIN. Wink = ; . ) I like my own wink with eyelashes batting against my eyeglasses. ; . ) Wink and a grin.

I had to look some up not too long ago because I did not know what my old political buddy in Maine was talking about with ***. Now if he had just used the F word to me in our emails - NO problem. Ha!

I can handle that in his writing especially when it comes to the leeches and bottom feeders in the District of Criminals = D.C.! We are VERY politically incorrect and BLUNT at times. We can be a lady and gentleman in our mail, our conversations and IN person too!

I still do not know that many of them.

When I used to 'chat' years ago and was NEW to all chats... I did not know what LOL was or LMAO or ROFL or ASL.

I had this explained to me and some did not like it when I asked them why the heck they wanted to know about my age, sex and location. Obviously, I was a woman talking about politics and guns and used Catherine or Cate, I spoke about older times, things, my husband (Late husband now.) and dogs - some of my close friends knew where I lived back east... anyway... it was WELCOME TO THE INTERNET time! Ha ha!

'Course, the other part that makes my way fun is if you're close enough to see it, you're also close enough to see that I'm "not, ah, entirely sane...":what:lol which only adds to the mindscrewage. (My Psych profs used to love having me in their classes...:D)

Appropriate acro for such questions: NDBBM (Nobody's D... Business But Mine) or NYDB (should be obvious) have usually worked very well for me. Of course, I'm also the type that likes to fill in all the profile blanks with "CLASSIFIED" and tell the curious to "See Profile"...:neener:

There's always period period shift-backslash period period, too, when you really need to "salute" somebody... (Type it and see what it looks like.:eek:)

From my Army days: FIDO ( f@#$ it, drive on!) used usually when you just removed your finished setting up a CP.You were told your company had a new mission that needed to be done ASAP and your squad was it.:D Or things were so snafu'd it could'nt get worse. Yet you still had to complete the mission.:what::evil:
Damn I miss that sometimes... most of the time not.:D
