OMG (Oh my goodness--polite & pc), it's finally happened. I've finally killed some threads. Two to be in fact. :)
Anyway, still consider myself a newbie here, and I think am finally getting the picture. HA! There are still some abbreviations that I don't get. Could somebody post some of the abbreviations used here.
I finally figured out that IMHO doesn't stand for I'm a hoe. :) |

| It might be easier if you ask about specific ones you still don't know. There are lots of abbreviations (and some that are better left un-spelled out.) |

A couple of DPC (Digital Photography Challenge) originals.
WWYT - What Where You Thinking?
Chit - The name of a fellow a while back who made a big enough splash his name has been immortalized in the porcelain of common usage. Used in many different contexts, almost as versatile as the F-word, with usages such as 'Oh Chit!' and 'That looks like Chit.'
