TW Acronyms

IMO TW UTMA, ACS IBVW A NOPW BESAW LOWSCREP FUGER MYCOM; STREP TROP VERPY XEMO. FTMFW!


Gibberish, or a TW post from 2050? As TW appears to be fully engaged in this world of ever increasing acronymic crypto-speak, new TW forum members may encounter some acronyms and finding themselves saying WTF? I am providing a supplemental acronym glossary geared specifically to TW, I will also include slang and truncated neowords. Many newly encountered acronyms can be deciphered by context or by backtracking through threads, others require a little more digging. An attempt will be made to provide the most TW-context correct answer. For example, when I first tried to decipher “RTT”, one online acronym dictionary provided no less than 31 different possibilities, with none being the correct answer as used on TW- roof top tent.
I will be updating.
