Is there an DU acronym guide? I'm losing track...

[FormerDittoHead]

I'm now on 3 new acronyms for today alone which I don't understand and their meaning isn't defined in the message text. People seem to assume everyone knows what they all mean.

Rather than toil with getting specifics, I'd like to know if there's a central respository of all of these abbreviations that I can refer to in the future...

TIA (thanks in advance)

PS: just to prove my point, the two off the top of my head are: DSM and SLC and I remember another earlier on, but I just wanted you to know I'm not just yanking your chains...

1. you can pretty much look up the unknown acronym + the world acronym on a

search engine and find any one out.

[etherealtruth]

11. Wow, thank you

I have NEVER been able to figure out what BFEE was ... I mean absolutely no sarcasm your advice (direction) is useful for many areas.

In my case it's not so much "newness" as it is abject stupidity.

[henslee]

19. Newbie was a poor choice of words. I'm just trying to be a smart ass.

I hit mental blocks woth acronyms all the time. These boards are jumping today. Sure feels like the political ground is shaking. Wonder what grand scale diversin is coming.

2. you would think that the demopedia would have it...

not sure if it does though

[Stephanie]

amystrange made a glossary

but i'm not sure where it is - for now:

BFEE = Bush Family Evil Empire
LIHOP = Let It Happen on Purpose
MIHOP = Made It Happen on Purpose
MSM = mainstream media

What else?

12. Downing Street Memo

You may have already found it, but it's for the collective benefit of our readers.

Don't worry, you'll get them all down in no time and be talking in alphabet soup like the rest of us.

[lectrobyte]

13. Downing Street Minutes nt

[AllieB]

That would help me too. I'm new here and can't keep up.

Now pardon me while I post on the MSM's lack of MIHOP/LIHOP coverage.
