Are modern acronyms passing you by?

BAE?
IIRC?
TLDR?
A2M?

I don't know what any of the above mean? There are literally hundreds of these I don't get.

The only one I get is Charlton Life Independent Travel. Though I am yet to actually find the CLIT since Derby away a few years back.

    TLAs are easy

    Didn't know A2M but if Dave Mehmet know it is it most likely obscene.

    TLDR is any of Seriously Red's post

    IIRC I use

    BAE is sweet

    ICYDK: An acronym is an abbreviation that makes up a pronounceable word – for example CARD, NASDAQ, WHO.

    ITK, ICYMI, GTFO etc, are initialisms like BBC, CAFC and FBI.

    HTH.

    IANAL always amuses me. Particularly as it's always followed by but.

    TLA actually caught me out the other day in a meeting as we went through a long long list of "TLA's" - I'd genuinely never heard it before and it drew a wry smile. FML

    It's worrying the only one I knew was A2M.

    And that was around 10 years ago that I found that category... Which is very unclean for your partner...

    No kisses afterwards ta.

    Yes, had to google BAE as 'before anyone else' because had naively understood it to be British Aerospace Engineering.

    Which used to also be before anyone else. Thanks Margaret.

    You're all getting bae wrong. It's basically the word "babe". Or, it sometimes (but infrequently) can stand for Before Anyone Else - but the acronym is now basically archaic (lol).

    It also means shit in Danish.

    "A2M" is not a thing, unless you mean "ATM" which is "at the moment" (or indeed "automated teller machine"). Or, unless you mean alpha-2-Macroglobulin, which is a large plasma protein as found in blood.

    TL;DR means too long didn't read.

    Andrew Castle slipped a modern take on an old classic almost without anyone noticing during a women's quarter final at Wimbledon. The player won the match and he said '"she has made it through to the semis, see you next Thursday".

    Was the A2M the bit leading to the Blackwall Tunnel?

    "A2M" - http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=533031. Seems to be a thing. Not my kind of thing, but a think none the less.
