Acronyms used here...

now my dad was in the service, he used (still does) acronyms all the time, so most of the time i dont have a problem figuring them out, but ive seen a few here im still scratchin my head on

LHBS-Local Home Brewing Supplier (easy)

WIP or BIP-Work In Progress/Brew In Progress (ok no biggie)

SWMBO-what the hell is this?? I am sure its your significant other from context, but i cant seem to work this one out.

if there are others you can think of (humerous or not) throw em up with their explinations

two of my faves are
snafu-situation normal , all fouled (or the other word) up

fubar-fouled (or the other word) up beyond all repair

SWMBO - [redacted]

Someone doesn't know how to play this game ^

RDWHAHB-Relax Don't Worry Have A Homebrew

Quite possibly. I just got engaged and have yet to let it fully sink in.

the mystique of SWMBO is lost on this place anymore

I once tried to CIP aftare a SMASH BIAB with my SWMBO but a few of the QD's came apart sprayed the PID fried the RIMS and now my CPC and PC are all FUBAR.

Or the fact that there is ALREADY a thread with this info easily found....and that's why we do the game...because folks ask without looking around.

But he is a party pooper.

And it's Local Home Brew Shop

and I always heard FUBAR as f'd beyond all Recognition

Welcome to the HBT forums! - we jab in jest, to amuse ourselves, sometimes to make a point, often at the expense of newbs....

Actually I have heard it as both, recognition and repair...it's the nature of these things, there may be derivation. I have also heard Lhbs referred to as supply and supplier beside shop...

And it's newbs btw, LOL

Awesome. I was trying to figure SWMBO out myself, but knew not to ask, as I would find it eventually.

Great manual of acronyms. Now no one has an excuse.
