What does OE stand for?
Is there an index that shows what commonly used abbreviations mean? What is the purpose of a sway bar? I do not see why it would be needed..Thanks in advance

MBENZ,
That is so funny. Yes it mean's LOL. I remember when I first started using the internet some 5 years ago, I thought LOL meant exactly as it sounds out loud, LOL, and just thought it was some kind of term like "that was funny" or something. I used to also think BRB meant BRRRR for being cold!! Steve, I thought it was HONEST Opinion? I guess there's not much of a difference.

Thanks, John...
That link to the automotive abbreviations went directly into my bookmarks!
 And "c230man" (sounds like an invitation to visit the dentist, "see tooth hurty-man") OEM actually means Original Equipment Manufacturer... MBenz: Yes, LOL means "laughing out loud". And Steve already covered IMHO, "in my humble opinion". There's also these: ROFL - Rolling On Floor Laughing. ROFLMFAO - Rolling On Floor Laughing My F%#*ing A@* Off. LMAO - Laughing My A#@ Off. FYI - For Your Information. FWIW - For What It's Worth. AAMOF - As A Matter Of Fact. AIYDK - As If You Didn't Know. ICYDK - In Case You Didn't Know. AIIC - As If I Cared. BTDT - Been There, Done That. BTW - By The Way. LNGT - Let's Not Go There. There are more @ http://www.ker95.com/chat101/html http://power.pasco.lib.fl.us/acronyms.html http://www.kelseypub.com/irc/abbrev.shtml http://technology.ksc.nasa.gov/DE-TPO/abbrev.html

MBenz,
The first time I saw LOL, I thought it meant "Lots Of Love" and figured there were some really friendly board members. After reading some "funny" posts it dawned on me. What does YMMV mean? I think that's the one I've seen

c230man's Argument Is So Compelling...
But it's wrong...:p Sorry...
 If you checked the links to the thread and website that JCE posted, you would have read: Quote:
 And BrianW, YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary. It means you may not get the same results... [Edited by longston on 04-10-2001 at 06:13 PM]
