Occasionally readers will run across an acronym or nickname they are unfamiliar with, and rather than ask what something means in a comment, they may wish to use the following list I've compiled. I made no effort to list every acronym or nickname known to humankind, I've simply listed a few. You won't find "lol" or "wth" or "bbf", but you'll find things we use on this site, maybe forgetting that others haven't been where we have been, and might not know what the heck we're talking about.
