To help me better understand what all you cooler people already know so well, I ask that we define some of the acronyms that are used here. While some are pretty clear others remain mysterious to me.

Examples:
LOL = lots of luck
PITA = pain in the ass

In the context of message boards, LOL almost always means "Laughing Out Loud." Consider ROFLOL, which means "Rolling On Floor Laughing Out Loud" -- it wouldn't make much sense if it were "Rolling On Floor Lots Of Luck" would it? :p
