WTB, HAF, WTF? Acronyms and jargon, busted

kw = keywords

Pmsl, pissing my self laughing.

Mod can you add all the short meanings as one post altogether from main first post....
Be nice
 
Any ideas what WW means? I've seen it when people ask for reviews. Thanks!
 
I did not search for this topic, but I came across, sometimes I used full words while searching, now I think I will reach the category I want in short words.
 
When you are a fast at typing, using too many abbreviations (in many cases) seems to end up wasting more time on an informational forum because people have to investigate the abbreviation before understanding the intent your post, rather than just typing out the words. (IMO )
 
Well You're Busted

Have a Fuck

Want to Fly

Just average airport acronyms you'll find these everywhere.
 
Honestly, you forget the most important one that is quite universal and used often
BTB: BassTrackerBoats
 
I feel forced to spam you guys for these 100 posts....

Then stop spamming!

I don't know why it's so hard to get to 100 normal messages?

10 - 20 messages spread over 10 hours every day, by answering some normal questions, I don't think it's hard.

You have been around since February...

This way as you go, you can only get banned during the day or at best, all your messages be deleted.

So choose wisely what you will do and how you will build your profile.
 
I was mumbling JV for 'Juventus ' and here I am. So it’s Joint Venture. Oh my gosh! Lol
 
Glad I found this thread. Thank you. I was really confused with all of the acronyms used here.
 
As with any community, there are some acronyms and lingo that get used a lot around here, and when you’re new, it might as well be a different language. So, here are the most common ones, explained. If you’ve used forums before, or are an old hand in the IM industry, some of these will be familiar. But for those who are entirely new, it’s handy to know what they all mean.

Edit 29 April 2019: You guys have come up with some great suggestions to add to the list, so I've updated this post accordingly. Thanks to @Takurah, @shafi432, @Davidnike, @Bruno Adas, @AUSTINS.CLUB, @BrainAkeju, and @reuse for your contributions.
