What do these mean? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WB72 · 07-10-2002, 01:19 PM

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

jku72 · 07-10-2002, 01:25 PM

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.
