Unless you know about carra rud then OTBC matters not
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

This one threw me when I first discovered it's 'new' meaning. In the world of the biker FTW means Fuck The World.

AFAIK = as far as I know
AFK = away from keyboard
abreviations = abbreviations
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

No we're note. That is 'initialism'. A true acronym is a word - or pseudo-word - formed from the initial letters of a series of words, e.g. NATO, UNICEF, SONAR.
