I have heard so many different abbreivations half the time I am spending a couple minutes guessing what is being talked about. Things like WIB, FHC, WD40,
Please help
I don't know what more than 1/2 of these things mean
Well, there's 2 types of abbreviations in use (not counting WD-40).
A) internet abbreviations.
Those are semi-standardized and are in no way dependent upon the GSC.

WIB - Word In Business(?)
HFC - Household Family Corps(?)
WD40 - (this one I do know) - WD40 stands for Water Displacement, formulation #40.
I sometimes get lost in the acronyms too. Being a tech, there are a million of 'em!
