ThumbsUp Acronyms ..what do they mean?

Share
 

Hey folks.

As I've mentioned a number of times, I always have very hard time deciphering player / coach acronyms except for the obvious like CNS.

Fortunately, the latest version of the board software provides a neat feature which will, if you put your mouse over an acronym like CNS, it defines what it means in a popup (I'm not sure if it's for all browsers, but it works in mine)

THUS, to help and others out, what are the acronyms you use on the board frequently? What do they mean? If we can develop a list, I'll put them in the board software and I (and many others) will never be confused again

Do them like this:

CNS - Coach Nick Saban
CPB - Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant

..etc

Thanks!


***UPDATE*** What I'm REALLY looking for are things that are used primarily on TideFans (like player & coach & school acronyms)

Re: Acronyms ..what do they mean?

IOW – in other words
IMO- in my opinion
IMHO – in my humble opinion
JMO - just my opinion
LOL - laugh/s out loud
ROFL- rolling out in floor laughing
BDS - Bryant-Denny stadium (obvious I guess)
GMac - Greg McElroy
OT - off topic


I've used all of these at one time or another but I'm sure there's a few more I've missed.
