What do they mean?!?
As I read throughout the various posts, I notice a lot of abbreviations being used. Some that I have been able to pick up on are:
IMO (In my opinion)
IMHO (In my honest opinion)
WTF (What the #@*!)
I might know of some others if I were to see them in a sentence, but most of them I have no clue on. And I will spend ten minutes just staring at that persons post trying to figure out what the heck they mean. For example, one that I just saw:
TMI
Can anyone explain what they stand for? Can you come up with any that you use and tell me what it means to prevent further confusion? Thanks all!

http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm
if you can't find it there, go to www.acronymfinder.com
if it's not there, then they probably just made it up on the spot

I don't recall seeing TMI here before.
I just recently got FWIW (For What It's Worth).

If you have any questions about an acronym, the easy way to find out what it means is to turn to any search engine. For instance, search Google for "mst3k acronym" and there are several accurate results on the first page. Ta-da!
