List of acronyms used on this forum

[daydream]

I wonder if it would be a good idea to have such a list. Especially for new ones on this site. Sometimes for a person living outside of the US, these abbreviations can be bewildering to figure out, even though it is common knowledge in the West.

I thought there was a possibility  to mouse over the the acronym whereby it will expand to reveal the actual meaning behind the letters. Not seeing it though.

When I mouse-over those with the little dots under them I do get a small pop-up with the expanded meaning.

Tsk, tsk not good to be concocting such unflattering acronyms for our highly esteemed overseers' wives. I hope there's no overseers' wives  peeping into this thread. I have to be careful the next time I meet up with one of these fine ladies that I shouldn't be having mental images of some farm animals sauntering up to me. 

You brothers are too funny.
