Alright so everyone can laugh at me once and for all, even though I've been part of these forums for a while, until recently I didn't know what QFT meant, and I still don't know what AFAIK means...

To avoid the trolls, saying OH BRB = BE RIGHT BACK AHAHAHAHAHA

I know the obvious ones, but the ones used in forums only or very rarely on msn and such, can people list them? So I can learn what they mean?

Thanks

While I was reading this topic it crossed my mind that I sometimes use "OP" referring to the person who started a topic but do not know what "OP" exactly means.

Wiki says...

Observation post, a position from which soldiers can watch enemy movements
Ocean Pacific, a retail company based in California, USA
Orange pekoe, a term used in the Western tea trade to describe a particular grade of black teas
Orange peel, the outer layer of an orange fruit
Ordo Praedicatorum, commonly known as the Dominican Order, a Catholic religious order
Operating Procedure, a standardised working protocol
Operating Profit, a measure of business profitability
Out of print, status of a book title at a publishing house
op, slang for marijuana grow operation

I've always assumed OP means Original Poster. Never actually checked it out though. Just seems to refer to the topic starter.

#1 is wrong

I don't doubt most people associate OP with original poster, but before that it used to be for Operator; the person with channel rights.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has always been for operator and people have just assumed that it is original poster.

AMA - Ask me anything (e.g.: AMA I just found out my girlfriend is a lesbian)
IAMA - I am a, ask me anything (e.g.: IAMA SRF Mod)
TIL - Today I learned (e.g.: TIL Macs have 2 copy and pastes)
FTFY - Fixed that for you (e.g.: Someone posts that they like girls and someone quotes him but changes it for they like ugly girls)
MIC - More in comments (e.g.: Someone posts something and has more information/pictures in the comments)
