So, since there are many others from back in the day when bandwidth was dear, what can you remember?

ICBW BIDTS I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

TEOTWAWKI The end of the world as we know it.

FWIW For what it's worth

I'll skip LOL, OMG, ROTF/LMAO - too obvious.

AFAIK As far as I know.

It's late, I pondered sufficiently, see what y'all can come up with!

:ROFLMAO:

"I D TEN T" Error


I added the spaces for clarity.

Hint - replace the text "TEN" for numbers

Special note - The whole point of writing RTFM on this Forum would be to stay within the rules. I don't think the moderators care about these initialisms. ICBW BIDTS

Have a fine Navy day, y'all!!!
 
One that is useful in my opinion and should be used more is:

TL;DR

It stands for “too long, didn’t read” and typically used at the open of the post, sometimes at the end of the post.

It’s meant as a super fast summary of what’s being said… especially helpful when used by folks like myself when our post is FAR from brief.
 
FUBAR is an old military expression, and for fun you can get on Wikipedia and search for it and find almost twenty similar terms. Interestingly, SNAFU, another old, similar military term, has become an English word that everyone understands even without knowing the origin.
 
I’m old so I wasn’t part of the whole snazzy abbreviation thing.

I’m not a NAG (Not Aging Gracefully), but IGDGI (I Just Don’t Get It).

I don’t believe for a second that I had anything to do with bandwidth (whatever that is). I believe it was created to annoy anyone over the age of 30.
