Abbreviations what's all this.

[Binman]

Over the last few months read many abbreviated words on the forum that has had me stumped, now another one, ILM what's this suppose to mean, driving me crazy, can we start a list of common abbreviations often used in the posts and what they mean, so I can get some sleep.

 

[Strolls]

That was in the thread about the salesman at the boat show, wasn't it?

I think the acronym was only used by one person in that thread, and he followed it with "Irritating Little Man" the first time he used it.

For commonly used abbreviations ITYWF that typing "define:" followed by the term that is confusing you into google will often do the trick. e.g.
define: DAMHIKT
*EDIT: errr...ok the annoying forum software insists on rendering a colon followed by capital D as one of those ridiculous smilies D). The space between ":" and "D" is unnecessary above

As Strolls says, "ILM" was defined by the poster (so google won't tell you anything useful), although I believe he used the full term before the abbreviation.

Your going to have to say what they are as well, else I'll be truly going mad.

Strange, I am typing upper case characters which enter as upper case and when I save all but the first character change to lower case?

I used to know what IIRC means, but can't remember now.

I used to think it was just an age thing but now I realise I'm just FUBAR.
Probably be FORD next week.
