Abbreviations you should know, but don’t!
Good example: I think I can guess what "SIAL" means from the context in which it is used. I can even have a stab at what it stands for, but I don't know for sure: "Seen It All. . . ."
Who else has an abbrevation that they've wanted to know the meaning of for some time now?
Anyone got any good/funny ones to share?

So, if you see SIAL posted anywhere, roughly translated, it means that it's been posted before, and we're all bored of seeing it yet again...

They may be incorrect but that's how I interpret them.

Can't beat the ones you get on envelopes e.g. SWALK Sealed With A Loving Kiss
Personally I kinda like NORWICH:
Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home ;-)
A mate once joked that he made a good misinterpretation of a letter he got with DVLA on it. He thought it meant
Darling, Very Loving....
Imagine his dissapointment when he opened the envelope only to be confronted with car tax reminder!! :-)
