Acronym Soup

Now here's a definition of MACHO I've never ever heard before “Male Acting Childish, Hormonal, and Obnoxious” When I read it, I started thinking of more There's the ever popular ROTFLMAO Everybody certainly knows this one “Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off” Used in emails to express some fun ANFSCD is really a new one on me “And Now For Something Completely Different” Originally from a Monte Python skit At times they were a wee bit irreverent WYSIWYG is an acronym for “What You See Is What You Get” Makes a lot of sense, should be no confusion But it can still make some people fret Here's a good one, TNSTAAFL “There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” Once you realize that, you'll be better prepared It'll help you a whole great big bunch This here's a real cute one, SHIAPMP “So Happy I Almost Peed My Pants” Was thinking because I used the word 'pee' Should have warned you guys in advance! © Jack Ellison 2013

I did not know that was a definition of "Macho". Now to think of it, it's kind of fit, lol. I don't know too much about the other ones. But it's great. If I used it on somebody, they sure don't know what I am talking about, ha. Maybe I will do that. Keep them wondering :)
