benos Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Bonedaddy's last post reminded me of a post I've been wanting to make. Why don't you acronym users list some acros in this thread. All over forums everywhere I'm seein em - and I got no clue what most of em mean. Like TANEFFLELLMOUSE, or whatever.... I'll get this started with one I made up on GlockTalk the other day - LTL X2 - "Live to learn — learn to live." I was telling my neighbor about the acro thing and she said that her and her friend used to write entire letters using acronyms only! Now that's a serious user. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ankeny Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I hate three letter acronyms like TLA. You probably guessed that TLA is the three letter acronym for three letter acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
