Strange words

#1 Post by Samantaz »

Hey,

I asked myself about lots of abbreviations you guys are using, like NSFW or OT.
Can you explain me what these means ?

Thanks !

NSFW = Not Safe For Work, normally for stuff like swearing, gore, porn, and stuff like that

OT i believe means On Topic

FTFY (Fixed That For You). The other definitions above are all correct, otherwise.

Wow this thread is amazingly useful. I've learned a lot already haha! But I'm not here for a useless post of praise, I have a contribution!

IRC=Internet Relay Chat

I find often when I mention it nobody has any idea what it means or is. BTW (By the way) The chat option on the Twokinds main page brings you to the IRC page for the comic!

I never knew what the letters actually meant, but I just treated it as a 3 letter noun so I didn't much care to ask. The actual definition of the letters make it sound more important than it really is...


I see some letters I can define in the post box here... UCP is User Control Panel, which is found near the top of the page. It's where you go to change things like your password, signature, avatar, swear filter option, etc. I also just now realized you can go there to see how many account warnings you currently have, but I think you need at least 1 for that to pop up...

If we're talking acronyms in general, there are a couple that I've seen/used:

AFK: Away From Keyboard
IMO: In My Opinion
IIRC: If I Recall Correctly
GLHF: Good Luck, Have Fun
INB4: Used to predict or mention something before it's said/done
TL;DR: Too Long; Didn't Read

also found that :

i.e : "this is" or "in essence" (id est in latin)
e.g : "for example" or "example given" (exampli gratia in latin)

often confused, here are some tips to not confuse
