Acronyms

Does anybody have a listing of all the acronyms paired with their long hand equivalent's that are used on this site? Sometimes people use crazy acromyns and I feel a bit too sheepish sometimes to ask what an acronym means, and would really like to just look it up.

Thanks

I don't know if there's a list anywhere, but I'm sure that we can cover most of the common ones. And don't feel too bad; this question pops up every once in a while. So, in no particular order...

BBEG - Big Bad Evil Guy (or Gal): your game's primary villain, or a significant villain in the adventure

IANAL - I Am Not A Lawyer: disclaimer used when giving an opinion on anything of a legal nature (such as the OGL, or copyright law)

IYKWIMAITYD - If You Know What I Mean, And I Think You Do: nudge nudge, wink wink

WotC - Wizards of the Coast

3E/3.5E/4E - D&D Third Edition, Third Edition Revised, and Fourth Edition, respectively. The first two actually exist; 4E is a much talked-about and much feared anticipated revision to the D20 system, predicted to occur sometime between tomorrow and ten years from now.

TINARA - This Is Not A Real Acronym ;)

That's all I can think up off the top of my head. I'm sure someone will post links to old thread on this subject, though.

EDIT: See? diaglo comes to the rescue!
 

Most of us don't mind explaining our acronyms is asked, but chances are for every serious response you'll get three jokes. ;)
 




The one I always had trouble with was FLGS. Im pretty sure it is Fantasy Local Game Shop. IM not entirely sure about the F though. YMMV...oh, your mileage may vary.
