Acronym Decoder - UPDATED 12/02/10

[Saintlysins]

LIST UPDATED 12/02/10
I couldn't stand it any longer. I have a pretty good idea what the products are, but there's always someone more cryptic than need be, even today I read something I just couldn't decipher. So I went to the 'Updated Acronym' thread and copied it into Excel. Then went through all the posts that included things not on the list, compiled them all, culled, sorted, edited (mild edits, mostly simplifying text), then alphabetized the whole list so every acronym has it's own line, even if it's got multiple meanings.
I only started a new thread on Acronym's as the other one was getting a bit tedious and we know it'll be a little while before the new & improved site has acronym pointer display.
I hope this helps everyone/anyone.

Although most people already know what it means, maybe include IB4TL, usually needed for "Best Car Wax" threads.

You’re all correct as to what’s missing. Including the time on my hands

I started with the Updated Autopia Decoder Guide and picked up the rest from there. I’m sure there’s a lot more, let’s wait a week and see what else is missing. I’m not doing this for making a product list, but rather to clear up the incredible acronym use (dare I say it: ‘Abuse’), on this otherwise excellent forum. So give us the acronym and its meaning.
Funny thing about the Ultima Product Line exclusion … seems people are soooo happy with the products they’ll spell the whole thing out. Almost wonder if that’s some sort of a subconscious endorsement and pride of usage.

Just updated the original post to include all that contributed to date.
Thanks to all who did, and keep any new ones coming and I'll continue to update.
Also note any spelling mistakes, might as well make this as useful and correct as possible.
I have it in an EXCEL spreadsheet too - those that want a copy just ask and I'll e-mail it to you. I've printed it for quick reference at my desk.
Hope it helps.
