Yesterday I had to explain what WFH stood for and that got me thinking. How many acronyms are out there, I'm guessing millions. Below are some that I know:

WFH
FNG
GTFO
WTF
PEBKAC
ID10T
NSFW

What are some others? Maybe you have one the rest of us haven't heard. Remember, if giving the answer to keep it PG or @wendell will slap your hand. :)?ÿ
