Title: interweb abbreviations that make me feel dumb
Post by: TrailerParkFishTanks on January 08, 2014, 10:04:50 PM
there are a ton of short hand abbreviations that i dont get and sometimes make me feel like a dumb*ss for not knowing what it means. my most recent one i learned is WYSIWYG= what you see is what you get. ive seen it a million times and never made that connection until a recent post. does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? any other abbreviations that still have you baffled?

Wait till you hear it in person then you will not know what it is again.  Its more like wisy wig when you here it in person.

Better get some ProActiv for your PIMPL.  Or some new pants.  Especially because of how cold it is outside.  ;)
