Acronyms used in posts, can anyone explain them?

KStaford · 11-04-2009 10:47PM #1

This all started out with the question "what does meh stand for?", but I decided to widen it so that other acronyms can also be explained here.

I know a few
ffs - for fcuk sakes
imo - in my opinion
imho - in my honest opinion
afaic - as far as I'm concerned

so back to my original question. What does meh mean? I see it all over boards posts and could never figure it out.

Meh doesn't really mean anything. It's not an acronym either it's an actual word. Whenever you see the word meh just think of the person shrugging, it's the only way I can describe it.

Urban Dictionary - meh

I don't care.

Dero · 11-04-2009 10:54PM

Meh.

Also, I would imagine AH is not the best place for this if you want serious answers.

And another thing; is your Google broken?

ScouseMouse · 11-04-2009 10:55PM

AFAIK

Stands for: as far as I know

Generally means they don't have a clue !!:D

Or they can ask the question here and get various answers.
It's all good.

I used to have a stick up my arse. It's quite painful. I'm sure there's an acronym for that.
