I've had a lot of people ask me what some of these acronyms mean, and so since I seem to be able to figure them out rather quickly, I'm compiling a list for those of you who can't quite grasp it.
If anyone else thinks or notices any others, post the answers, or we can decrypt them for you. ;)

Can you tell me the origin of that phrase? Don't give me that standard "World War II" response that anybody that has seen Saving Private Ryan can give.

I dont' know where it comes from, though.
