WIP = Work In Progress
LMAO = Laughing My “Butt” Off (took me a while to figure this one out!)

PITA: Pain in the ‘Butt’.
I like FUBAR also… ‘Fouled’ up beyond all repair.
An ebay term: MIB Model In Box
Ron
another eBay term: MISB – Mint in Sealed Box (or is it Model in Sealed Box)
i had always thought the M was for Mint, Ron.
Since we’re talking e-bay here, it could mean - “Maybe in Box”!! LOL
I thought it meant ‘Mint’ too!
Bill
We’ve gotten off topic here, but how about:
SNAFU - Situation Normal, All ‘Fouled’ Up
Some dictionaries actually list it that way, some define it with a slightly different word!
