I had to look up an acroynm, probably common for some, but not to me. WOT

What does "AE" mean as in 2003 AE

Ya I know I will learn one day

Thanks

[XLR8]

2003 AE as in Anniversary Edition.

And 2004 CE is the Commemorative Edition. (1996 CE is a Collector Edition)


Jane Ann

[Gersh]

That is great (almost TMI). But I'd like to add my own piece of shorthand:
NFL--Not "Fairy" Likely
Gersh

[DRTH VTR]

SNAFU situation normal, all "fouled" up

FUBAR "fouled" up beyond all recognition

[Pseudomind]

The acroynm listing is good, but who can we get to put them all in one list and add to it as new items are added.

Example Link to acroynms

One listing

A
B
C
D
.
.
.

Otherwise (Is elsewise a word? If not? I vote we make it a word. It sounds good, e.g elsewise I will be doing this). one will have to search through all listings to maybe find the acornym they are looking for.

[KOPBET]

Very few of these are actually acronyms, but I'll add another one ...

JABSA - Just Another Bloody Stupid Acronym.

[vettepilot]

OK, I'll throw in a couple:

ABS - Anti Lock Braking System
BCM - Body Control Module
DTC - Diagnostic Trouble Code
ESC - Electronic Suspension Control

and one I'm not sure of, has to do with air bags SIR - ?? Inflatable Restraints

Close... but here's the real deal below

SIR = Supplemental Individual Restraint

[67vet]

MPG - Miles Per Gallon

DILLIGAF was one of my embarrassing moments. At an IRL race at Charlotte speedway I was walking through the vendor's area. These (for lack of a better word) naive people were buying baseball caps. One of the ladies said excuse me sir, what does DILLIGAF mean. One of the younger guy's wives started giggling.The other blushed and both husbands were grinning.
So I said it means Do I Look Like I give a "you know." She said No, I don't know. Now everyone was smiling.. So I tried again and none of them got it. So I finally said it means Do I Look Like I give a puck. She said puck, then oh and went beet red That hat went back on the rack faster than you'd believe.

Worse was until the race started I had to put up with how my face was redder than theirs.
