Commonly used acronyms and terms found throughout SMF...
Being new to SMF and reading ALOT of posts, I thought it might help newbies to the forum (myslef included) to have a list of acronyms/terms and their meanings.
For example:
SMF = ShaveMyFace.com
IMO = In My Opinion
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
TTO = Twist To Open
WTG = With The Grain
XTG = X The Grain (across the grain)
ATG = Against The Grain
YMMV = Your Method May Vary
FWIW = For What It's Worth

WTG = With The Grain
XTG = X The Grain (across the grain)
ATG = Against The Grain
YMMV = Your Method May Vary
FWIW = For What It's Worth

Some of these and others are so commonly used that it is just assumed everyone knows their meaning...I just thought we could have a list and other members could post additional acronyms to have them for easy reference.

Good start Tim. Of course many acronyms are common to all blogs and forums, but a few more shaving-related that you could add to the list would be:
DFS: Damn Fine Shave (Not quite as close as BBS but still very good)
SE: Single Edge
FO: Fragrance Oil
EO: Essential Oil
PIF: Pay It Forward
Regards, Larry
