Is there a thread or page with explanations of all the abbreviations used in the threads? I see lots of things I have no idea what is being stated.
 
I can't think of any specific threads with defined abbreviations . . .

Any specific question on abbreviations?
 
One I saw this morning was WOT. Alot of the times context helps to figure them out.

I guess I can just keep adding to this as I continue to see them.
 
Yea, WOT's an REF anyway? :)
 
WOT . . . just a guess here . . . Wide Open Throttle . . . might be in reference to running a chainsaw with the throttle fully engaged.

WTF stands for Wood The Fire. A term used in the old days when reloading the stove.

LOL, that's a polite way to say it!!

Usually... I just mean "What the frick?", or something similar.

People just love coming up with new TLAs, just to confuse the rest of the folks.

WOT is closly related to WFO which means...umm... going real fast.
 
OMG, LOL, WTF! Okay.....have to say this - I'm NOT a fan of these things - I usually can't figure them out (which is why I don't like 'em)! Cheers!

WAITA? I'm talking about Three Letter Acronyms, of course!
 
CSD = cut, split, delivered

CSS = cut, split, stacked (I assume)

Context made these easy to figure out. If I can indefinitely edit this post I think I'll just keep adding to it. I still plead ignorance to some of the above.
