So here's the thing, I pride myself on being a geek, nerd, whatever... knowing alot of useless stuff. When it comes to the internet, I think i'm pretty well versed, and if i don't know something, i can usually figure it out pretty easily. Today's subject of humiliation is acronyms. There are a bunch that are used that i haven't seen anywhere else, and I wanna know what they mean.
I got IBSI or whatever, if it's not blue shoot it. (there was a thread about it, i'll admit that's where i learned about that one)
Then there's iirc, which i thought i had figured out to mean in IRC, as in they were chatting with someone in irc, like a dev chat or something, and that's where they got their info. Currently, i think i've figured out that iirc means if i recall? Not sure though.
IBTL? no idea. There are some others, if you can think of them, share them here, make me feel like an idiot, but help me out too.

Just off the top of my head.
IBTL = In Before The Lock IBDS = In Before Dark Shikari NBSI = Not Blue Shoot It

PITA = Pain In The A**? IMBA = Imbalanced, I believe...referring to something overpowered.

Word. Thanks for the education and the lesson in humility. If I think of anymore, i'll prolly make a new thread, cause this one deserves to die quickly and hide my shame with it ;)
Good Hunting everyone.

I always used to think that inc meant incursion guess I was giving too much credit to the majority of people playing the game, I was disappointed to find it actually only meant the much lest interesting incoming.
