Back before the Apollo 17 “manking” box misspelling and the recent wrong time on the 50th Anniversary Speedmaster my unwavering defense of Omega the Speedmaster was legendary.

I always enjoyed the WLSDATOALTCSLB abbreviation when referring to me and my topics.

WLSDATOALTCSLB -

Excellent list! Should be part of the introduction to any new forum member. A few additions:

SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed - whilst this is a fairly standard term in the online world to refer to ones better half, it is quite applicable when discussing another watch to be added to the stable...
BICO = Bi-Colour - referring to a case made of multiple materials, typically a combination of steel and gold

Lol, SWMBO is probably the best in this thread!! My favourite!

A few more, including some more Rolex-centric ones:

CONUS: Continental United States (i.e. no Hawaii or Alaska). Used in sales form, as in "Shipping included within CONUS".

Wow I get to do a FIFY!!!

Be advised that the North American Continent includes Alaska (who knew we are not a island next to Hawaii?). If you want to exclude Alaska you must use 'contigious.' CONUS includes Alaska.

2 more I use.

IMH2cO : In my humble 2c opinion (-> IMO more humble than IMHO)
RAF : can have 2 meanings, the context should make it clear which one it is -> Royal Air Force, or, Rare As F🤬c...
