Question What do these mean?

In previous threads, many regulars use accronyms, can you tell me what they mean?

LOL = Laugh out loud?
BWTF = ?????
IMHO = ?????
WTG = ?????


If they are being used with curse words, do your best to know which ones they are, without being kicked off the board.

There are probably more, you can list those as well.

Thanks

BTW, FYI, IMHO, means In my humble opinion, FYI means for your information, BTW means by the way? NFG means no f**ing good, POS means piece of s**, WTG could mean anything, way to go? FUBAR means f'ed up beyond all recognition,
I still am figureing computer geek lingo, but I am getting a little geeky, if I keep it up, I may become a full fledged appreticed moron in a few years.

Thanks fellas,
With all this info, I think I'm gonna need a new Pocket Protector and maybe a new set of glasses, these ones have tape holding them together in the middle.

LMAO!

OT is off topic.
Seeing all these abreviations reminds me of Robin Williams in Good Morning Veitnam. The part where he is screwing with the Lt and using every abreviations he can come up with in one sentance.
