WTHDTM Or, What The Hell Does THAT Mean?

Have you ever known someone who constantly spoke in acronyms? While it can be amusing in the very beginning, it’ll quickly turn sour if he or continues to let abbreviations flow into the conversation, especially when you don’t understand them. There’s really not a need to abbreviate everything, but some people insist on it. Imagine what it would be like to see the acronym combination RSVP ASAP on a greeting card if you didn’t understand what it said. You’d be completely bewildered by the meaning of the message, and therefore, the point wouldn’t get across to you. The next time you hear or see an acronym that you don’t understand, just research it with Acronym Finder.

The AF site claims it provides explanations for over 2,445,000 acronyms. That's a ridiculously huge number, but it just goes to show how complete the database is. Search for anything you'd like, and chances are that you'll get more than one result for your query. The most popular definition appears first, and the others closely follow it. With this newfound knowledge, you'll be annoying people in record time. If this is (fair & balanced) erudition, so be it.
