Of course, there's IITYWYBMAB. It doesn't often come up on this forum (likely never has, until now), but under the right situation, can help build relationships stronger.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

I have seen it several states times in a discussion . What does OP stand for? It is normally in reference to the person that started the discussion or asked a question.

I hate abbreviations, so I follow the golden rule and refuse to use them.

I got these in email today. While they are not really firearm related, with the average age of the CHL holders in Texas, this will hit many of us. LOL

Teens have their texting codes (LOL, OMG, TTYL, etc.).

Not to be outdone by these little SNK(snotty nosed kids),
Now, finally we long-suffering seniors have our own texting codes!

*************************************************************************

Texting for Seniors as follows:

ATD - At the Doctor's

BFF - Best Friend's Funeral

BTW - Bring the Wheelchair

BYOT - Bring your own teeth

CBM - Covered by Medicare

CUATSC - See You at the Senior Center

DWI - Driving While Incontinent

FWBB - Friend with Beta Blockers

FWIW - Forgot Where I Was

FYI - Found Your Insulin

GGPBL - Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low

GHA - Got Heartburn Again

IMHO - Is My Hearing-Aid On?

LMDO - Laughing My Dentures Out

LOL - Living on Lipitor

OMMR - On My Massage Recliner

ROFL..CGU - Rolling on the Floor Laughing...Can't get Up!

TOT - Texting on Toilet

TTYL - Talk to You Louder

WTP - Where are the Prunes

WWNO - Walker Wheels Need Oil

Hope these help!

GGLKI - Gotta Go, Laxative Kicking In

TAM (The Annoyed Man):

Thanks for expanding on my screen name's initials.

Here I went and reeled off a bunch of abbreviations, then I didn't even define myself.

Oh...I expanded on your abbreviation above. Turnabout is fair play.

After a successfully executed self-defense shooting, the aggressor may be referred to as DRT (dead right there).

To the OP, IMHO I think you should just ask the person that wrote the post. It happens to all of us and no one will think less of you for it.

IMHO=In my honest opinion
