Prompted by a post in the off topic discussion area about what does 'PITA' mean, I was thinking about how many abbreviated words there are in our language, abbreviations that have come into common use, so I thought to start this thread for the eduction and amusement of others.Some abbreviations that I know I have listed below, I invite others; 1. U/S - UnServiceable, but possibly fixable. 2. FUBR -Broken, definately not fixable(Fukt Up Beyond Repair) 3. PITA - Pain In The Arse 4. PETA -People Eat Tasty Animals 5. D/S - Obvious this one 6. BDSM - Again obvious Some I can think of having just woke up. Please feel free to add others?

I think that you are refering to Acronyms. RAM ~ Random Access Memory PIN ~ Personal Identification Number AT&T ~ American Telephone and Telegraph DVD ~ Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc TV ~ Television IM ~ Instant Message KFC ~ Kentucky Fried Chicken A.M. ~ Ante Meridiem P.M. ~ Post Meridiem ------------------------------------------------------- We would like to apologize for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed, political time-servers who are more concerned with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self-seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive. We are sorry if this impression has come across.

quote: BTW those are call acronims Technically, it's only an acronym if the letters form a new word, rather than being pronounced individually. Thus, SNAFU is an acronym, while BDSM isn't.

Greylynn -> RE: Fubr (12/1/2007 9:06:11 PM)
SOL - shit out of luck
