What does IIRC mean? People use a lot of letters seeming to think everyone knows what they mean???

These are the main ones I have seen... IIRC -

IIRC - if I recall correctly
SWMBO - she who must be obeyed (a.k.a. - wife)
BTDT - been there, done that
LOL - laughing out loud
ROLFL - rolling on floor laughing
ROFLMAO - rolling on floor, laughing my zzz off
BTW - by the way

Going to write them down and tape them to the front of my computer. The only one I knew was BTDT.

A few more...

OMG - oh my gosh
YMMV - your mileage may vary
AFAIK - as far as I know
WTF - does this one need explaining?

I could list all the ones my kids use, but wouldn't apply to us "old farts".

Way too many abbreviations used now days. Takes away something in a conversation.

Ever seen "NOGAS"?
No, it has nothing to do with being out of gas.
Actually, it"s:

"No One Gives A Sh!t"

Odd I thought of that while the debate is going on...

What drives me up the wall, is managers in the companies I work for send out "all hands" emails, and speak only in acronyms assuming everyone else knows what they're talking about.

More than once I've emailed them back and asked what the heck they were talking about. Just because they know what the acronyms mean when they're communicating among themselves doesn't mean everyone out in the field does.
