List of Acronyms on Simpsons Forum

FIFY - Fixed It For You, when you change someone's post when quoting them, often for comedic effect

Not to be a grammar snob, but all of these are initialisms not acronyms. An example an acronym would be SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) or RADAR (Radio Assisted Detection and Ranging)

ROFL- Rolling on the floor laughing

Not to be a pedant, but not ALL of them are initialisms. There's a good mix of both (e.g. UK being an initialism, FAP being an acronym).

My bad, MOST of the examples are initialisms.

Could be worse - at work most of my colleagues insist on referring to both as mnemonics...! :)

So it would be better if the thread title stuck to the simple abbreviations.

tl;dr = too long; didn't read

OAS = Open Air Stage
D's= donuts
TW=training walls (needed for righteousness)
trifecta(not an acronym)= tapping a neighbors OAS, Farm, @ Chanel 6 (or SP tile)

What's OT mean? Original tapper?
