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?

Best,

SIAL = scooby in a lake

STFU
FUBAR
RTFM

Refers to the incessant posting of an image showing - guess what - a Scooby In A Lake.....:D

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...:)

STFU - Shut the feck up
FUBAR - Fecked up beyond all recognition
RTFM - Read the fecking manual

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

Asking or sharing ?

STFU = Shut the F*** up
FUBAR = F***ed up beyond all recognition
RTFM = Read th F***ing manual

The ones that took me a while were IIRC (if I remember correctly) and AFAIK (As far as I know).

STFW - search the web! Modern equiv to RTFM :D

FUCT

Failed Under Continuous Testing :)

FOAD gets used a lot in my office :)

SNAFU - Situation Normal, All F*cked Up

SWAG - Sophisticated Wild Ar*ed Guesses

SISI = Subaru Impreza Standards Institute

I am the Chairman and we always welcome members, its free to join and the benefits are tremendous!

I'd heard that one but as Scientific not Sophisticated, still a good one.

CNUT - Certified Network and Unix Technician (Can be rearranged ;))

BOBFOC- Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch.

CORGI - Cowboy Orientated Revenue Generation Incentive.


HTH :)

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!! :-)

Best.

Male Doctor's abbreviation: TUBE = Totally Unnecessary Breast Examination

The ones that took me a while were IIRC (if I remember correctly) and AFAIK (As far as I know).[/QUOTE]
