Is there a guide for all these acronyms?

Please pardon my ignorance, but.... Even though I've been using the Net for over 12 years,
I often find myself flummoxed by all the acronyms being used. Is there a good online dictionary
to help feeble old men such as myself.

Which acronyms? I have most of them figured out. Well, pin a rose on your nose, annie. Most of us would rather choose when to waste time with puzzles.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I'm teasing you, FRiend - "Am I logged in" has a long history on this board. Yes, I saw your post. ~Everything~ will soon have a long history on this board. Hint to the new.... the misspellings are intentional. If they aren't intentional, they soon will be. They don't mean what you think they mean. ;~D

Is this like American Online? I can understand that you might be frustrated, but there's no call for insults!

You don't need a guide, you need a diarama! A little pepto-bismol will clear that up.

Muttly could use some Cheese too!
He will change the frequency of his Beeber just in case there is some left over.

As one old codger to another, I can understand his frustration, and it was a good opportunity to yank your chain.
You think this is bad? I work for a California county, and I think some people in it have only one mission in life: to make up acronyms; sometimes, acronyms for acronyms. My mission in life is to interrupt and ask for the meaning even if I already know. These people are so dedicated that they stay awake nights dreaming this stuff up.

Welcome to the party. The hazing will continue over the next few week. Don't take it seriously or personally. We are professional smart mouths and sometimes forget that there are people out there that are not acquainted with our often caustic brand of humor.

Muttly once had Diorama.A half boiled rice / half cottage cheese mixture in the place of his usual food will clear that right up.

As Dolly Parton once said:

To: bad company
Quick question, I know what a blog is, but is it an acronym for something? I like to keep up on these things...
