    Which acronyms?  Are they Nest acronyms or military acronyms?  Any in particular?

    TIA = Thanks in Advance
    AW = Attention Whore (although I always thought it was a post that you wanted people to go "aww" at)
    DD = Dirty delete (right?)
    STD = Save the Date  (even though I still do a double-take every time I see it)

    Every time I think I know all of them, more seem to appear!

    You're right about DD, birdie.

    KPS: The Knot Post Secret. (we just talked about that one, in case anyone was confused about what it was.)

    What's "GBCK"? I saw it on the Confessions thread and I can't for the life of me figure it out.

    Also, PIP is what we seem to use more often for "Pictures in Post".

    And we tend to say "JOP" for justice of the peace, usually referring to a quicky marriage on this board, but not always.  We say "JOP'ing" or something to refer to someone having a civil wedding, could be at the court house or by a JOP elsewhere.

    FFS - for f*** sake

    PP - previous poster (usually meaning the person who posted right before them)

    OP - original poster (the person who started the thread)
