Owww! The acronyms, they hurt! (Really, I've tried to keep up, but Jeez-o'-Pete! There's so fvckin' many of them! I can't spend all day at the Urban Dictionary!) WTF is really common, so I know it. But then I encounter WTG, I start thinking "What The God? What The Ginmill? What The Ginger? After a while, I finally see that the WT doesn't stand for "What The" at all - its an acronym for Way To Go. I have a fleeting sense of euphoria. Maybe I can learn this stupid code yet! Then, next sentence - FTW? Fvck The Wealthy? Fix The Waterpipe? (*I looked it up - For The Win. Okay, that's funny. I'm amused and annoyed at the same time.) Then next post down - VAM. I give up!
Sorry to rant about something that most others have no problem with, but damn this stuff makes me feel old and useless.
Oh, and Alex's post? Hilarious!
