Acronyms

We need a spot on this forum to look up acronyms. I have no idea what many of these stand for. In fact, within the last five minutes I saw SA and IBD. What are these? Senior Analyst and Investment Banking Division?

 
Funniest

Yeah I got stumped by a lot of them when I first joined. Same when I was in high school with my friends' text-lingo. I remember the hardest ones for me were: 

DLOD: Doing Lots of Drugs

SBBQ: Sex Barbeque

OMGB: Old Man Gang Bang

PSMD: Parents Suck Mad Dick

NMH: Need More Heroin

PMC: Prolapsing My Colon

LKAB: Lets Kill A Bum

MHIO: My Hole is Open

.

*I don't take credit 4 this.

 

Full Time as opposed to SA which is an internship

I like this game.....
