The HBT Acronym Thread

[CKelly]

I've been reading things on this forum for close to a year now and still find myself lost in a sea of acronyms. So I thought for beginning brewers and new forum members, a thread containing every beer related (or anything related) acronym would be helpful. So feel free to list any and all acronyms you feel would be good to know!

Haha, I was more saying that people would list acronyms that they know so others could learn them, myself included.

HBT = HomeBrewTalk
IDK = I don't know

I have no idea what EAC is...

Nor will you.

How about SWMBO?

No, that'd be lame.

Since I actually wanted this to be a helpful thing:

SWMBO = She who must be obeyed

[myelo]

Those are abbreviations not acronyms.

Yeah, I know ... sorry.

 

[beergolf]

touché

 

[mattd2]

Those are abbreviations not acronyms.

Yeah, I know ... sorry.

If you are going there they are actually initialisms (which is a specific type of abbreviation, in the same way an acronym is specific type of abbrivation)
Anyway...
YOLO = Yoghurt's Organism is Lactobacillus Occasionally?
EAC = Easily Accessed with Cash?

 

[mattd2]

touché

I don't know what thread you're in - that's not an acronym, it's just plain French

 

[beergolf]

It was in response to the abbreviations not acronyms post......

 

[agrazela]

IPA = Inspires Pissant Arguments

 

[BrewerBrad82]

IPA = Inspires Pissant Arguments

Only EACs can find the EAC thread

Only EACs can find the EAC thread

Rumor is that the EAC thread is back in circulation . . .

My favorite ... TANSTAAFB. It's also the moniker of a member here on HBT.

I recognized what it meant immediately.
