I love that every group I am a part of has their own list of acronyms that we use to communicate more quickly with one another. Not just ‘txt spk’, or abbreviations, but letters stuck together which stand for other things. I decided to compile a list of said acronyms, just because they are COOL! And I love weird things like this!
Pastor’s Wives Acronyms
PW – Pastor’s Wife
PK – Pastor’s Kid
CM – Church (or Congregation) Member
SP – Senior Pastor

WTF – “Welcome to Facebook” – used very tongue in cheek, obviously!

FB – Facebook
NB – NetworkedBlogs
PR – Public Relations
GC – Gift Card/Certificate
TMI – Too Much Information
CMO – Canadian Moms Online
WW – Wordless Wednesday

One from ‘back in the day’ that my best friend and I still use today:
LYLASA – Love you like a sister always!
(Thanks for the reminder, Val!)
It seems like I could keep going. Some of the ones I’m thinking of are commonly used in texting (BRB – be right back; LOL – laugh out loud; afk – away from keyboard; etc….).
last one:
ROFLOLSHIKMSOADMT – Rolling on the floor laughing out loud so hard I knocked my sombrero off and dropped my taco. (hehe)
What acronyms do you use? Share ’em here! Remind me of the ones I’ve missed, too!
I remember the first time someone texted me "TTFN"….okay, short form for Ta Ta For Now….but it took another 3 text messages back and forth for me to find this out. So much for texting quicker!
My BFFs in school used this all the time:
INVU4URAQT
