I knew if anyone would, out Tink would come through for us. Thanks for letting us know these abbreviations. I should either print this out or figure out how to tag it.

Thank you, Tink. I've been meaning to look these up. Some folks on here use some from time to time that I don't know and I'm here looking at the acro and the context and trying to figure out what they are saying. I need to print or tag this, too.

I copy and paste these things onto a Word document and save them there.

You can also bookmark the page, or copy and paste it onto an email, send it to yourself, and save it in a folder in your email Inbox.

You can also print them out - I think huge letters, lots of emoticons, and hanging them in the bathroom would be funny. Don't tell anyone why it's there either.
