interweb abbreviations that make me feel dumb
« 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?
I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

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