    Common abbreviations

    For those of you who requested a list, we started one.
    This is meant as reference only. We would much rather people use the correct grammar where possible.

    General abbreviations:
    ATM = At the moment
    FTW = For the win
    IIRC = If I remember correctly
    IMHO = In my humble opinion
    IMO = In my opinion
    IRL = In real life
    LMB = Left mouse button
    LOFL = Laugh out flipping loud ()
    LOL = Laugh out loud
    ND = Nerd Dictionary (this thing)
    OMG = Oh my god
    OMGZ = ???? - looks like Oh my god, but not sure what the Z is
    OP = Opening Post
    QFT = Quoted for truth
    RMB = Right mouse button
    ROFL = Roll on the floor laughing
    TEK = The Envenomed Kiss (How did he get in here?)
    WTF = What the flip()

    Titan Quest related abbreviations:
    ADCtH = Attack Damage Converted to Health
    AOE = Area of effect
    CtAP = Chance to Avoid Projectile
    DA = Defensive Ability
    DOT = Damage over time
    MI = Monster Infrequent
    OA = Offensive Ability
    SBC = Stonebinder Cuff's
    SP = Secret Passage (most of the time)

    Re: Common abbreviations

    I opened up this thread, if you have suggestions for TQ-related abbreviations, please post them here, so they can be added to the Opening Post (OP).

    Re: Common abbreviations

    Did I just hear "nerd"?

    Errrr.... So "FU" means "Flip you"?

    One more: "OMFG" => Oh my flipping God.

    => There's one "IIRC" too much in the OP. (Yeah, already using the ND)

    ==> "ND"= "Nerd Dictionary"

    And I miss "ROFL" (Rolling on the floor and laughing)

    And how about this: "PBAoE"= Point Blank Area of Effect (spells that activate at the caster's location)
    m4ssboss3s-mod: More heroes, more champions, more bosses, more fun!
    Trapfix-database: Unleash the true power of traps!

    Re: Common abbreviations

    A few more:

    FUBAR: "Flipped up beyond all repairs"

    AFAIR: "As far as I remember" (boring one)

    RTFM: "Read the flipping manual"

    and, my all-time-favorite:

    SNAFU: "Situation normal - all flipped up"

    jiaco-

    SHIIT "should i install this"

    Sorry, I couldn't help noticing that this Sticky was re-opened. And shouldn't that be "SIIT"? Cause that looks a bit "wrong" to me.

    Re: Common abbreviations

    I can't believe the ND made it

    Although a few of my later suggestions were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better...
    m4ssboss3s-mod: More heroes, more champions, more bosses, more fun!
    Trapfix-database: Unleash the true power of traps!
