FWIW, DH, FIL etc...?

Now maybe this has been covered, but I'm curious what all of the abbreviations that you experienced knotties use stand for. There are the obvious ones; FI and BM and such, but DH or FWIW? Would someone care to create a definition chart or explain them?

FWIW = for what it's worth.

IMO = in my opinion

KWIM = know what I mean?

DH = darling/dearest husband (insert barf here)

If you go to FAQs on the left side navigation, there is a section at the bottom with commonly used abbreviations.

DH = darling husband
FWIW = for what it's worth

I'm not that ambitious, but I think DH = Dear Husband and I know FWIW = For What It's Worth. 

It took a while, but I eventually figured out that JIC = Just In Case, which is usually the reason someone gives for quoting the full text of a post they're worried the OP (original poster) will DD (dirty delete). 

HTH (hope this helps!).

S/O - Significant Other or Spin-Off.

I always thought DH = damn husband. Huh.

There's only one I still don't know: ETA.  I know it means edit but don't know what it stands for. 

More that probably aren't on that list to the left:
GBCK- goodbye cruel knot
BSC- batshit crazy

Also, FIL can be either father-in-law or future in-laws. 

Edit: Actually, if it's future in-laws it would be FILs.  Sorry.

ETA = edited to add
