Definitions??

Maybe it's time to put a definition page on this site. There seems to be a lot of shorthand in some of these posts.

What does "lol" mean?

I've think I've figured out most of the others: "IMO", "IMHO",etc. Something to do with one's opinion?

I think "Screw" is an SD Crew Cab, if so is an SD Supercab called a "Sup"? Correct me if I'm wrong, or if I "Screw Sup".

FAQ Frequently Asked Question. When people say "the FAQ", they are generally referring to a list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions. These are posted monthly on many newsgroups or mailing lists to reduce discussion of topics that have already been thoroughly covered. It's a good idea to look at a FAQ file for a newsgroup or mailing list before participating in it. See the Knowledge Base document Where can I find a repository of Usenet FAQ files? for help in finding FAQ files. A large list of all known FAQ postings in newsgroups is also posted periodically in the Usenet newsgroup news.admin .

RTFM Read The "Fine" Manual. This may be interpreted as: "You have asked a question which would best be answered by consulting the manual (or FAQ, or other help files), a copy of which should be in your possession. The question you have asked is clearly answered in the manual and you are wasting time asking people to read it to you." It's good netiquette to mail this type of answer to another user rather than post it in public messages.
SO Significant other, used to refer to someone's romantic partner without making any assumptions about gender or preference.

SHartman,

That's good!

Now I've got far too much to try and remember. I'll just print this and tape it to my monitor.

Thanks for a good laugh.
