I'm in the forum since November but am not able to understand some abbreviations that members use. So this thread would be useful for guys like me & also the newbies. I'll start by listing some. Members can & should add to the list. I'll be happy to see it grow:)

BTW - By the way
IMO - In my opinion
AFAIK - As far as I know
LOL - Laughing out aloud
ROTFL - Rolling on the floor laughing
 
Hi,

I initially had this problem, but whenever I encounter such, I will try to google it! A few from my side:

1. IMHO - In my humble opinion.
2. FS- Floorstanders/Towers
3. BS - Bookshelves.
4. OTOH - on the other hand
5. LOTR - Lord of the rings
6. TT - Turntable
7. WYSIWYG - What you see is what you get
8. OP - ???
9. PJ - Projector
10. MPs - media players
11. BDP- Blu-ray Disc Player
12. BD - Blu-ray Disc

Cheers!

Nice thread captain. There is a variation of ROTFL

CAP = Capacitors
SS = Solid State (used in Amplifiers)
RMS = Root Mean Square (unit of measuring power/wattage)

AFAIK - As far as I know

IMOOAOTBINRTTA --- I missed out on all of this because I never read that thread anyway!

TGFM --- thank god for moderators

TGIF --- thank god it's Friday!

But hey, do lets try and talk in full words; it's so much easier to read. Worst of all is SMS speak, which I don't like even in SMS messages!
