Recommended Posts

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.

Those used more commonly are here:

Those used less commonly are here:

B) GSC abbreviations.

Those are generally abbreviations for things in twi.

Many or most of those are found here:

Your example "WiB" stands for "Word in Business" conferences.

YL- young lady

XYL- old lady (wife)

add the Q code list, and a person can be dealing with hundreds of abbreviations..

QRZ- who is calling me?

QSO- conversation.

QRT- To cease sending, or end the conversation.

typical usage: "If I don't QRT, the XYL is gonna kill me.."
