Ok, some i know, like “IMHO”, “OP”, and “IANAL” (that one took a while to figure out). But what about “WAG”? And others. Let’s make a glossary for the neophytes (like me).
WAG: Wise-Ass Guess
IIRC: If I Remember/Recall Correctly
AFAIK = ?
As Far As I Know
I was sure WAG meant something other than what Lissa said. And I am on 1300ish posts and I have only now heard of ‘IANAL’. What the FH does it mean?
IANAL = I Am Not A Laywer
Just curious:
What did you think it meant?
I always thought WAG was Wild Ass Guess, meself. But IANAAcronymParser.
Had I been able to remember, I would have included what I thought it meant in my other post.
In other words. I don’t remember.
Excellent info. TYA.

And I always thought that Q. E. D. was “Quite Easily Done”. At least, that’s what my undergrad mathematical physics teacher told us.
Well, that, or quantum electrodynamics, but I digress.
