Texas Gun Talk Abbreviations
In a recent thread, someone posted the abbreviation YMMV and there was a question about it. I thought I'd start an abbreviation thread to explain some abbreviations that may come up in this and other forms. If you think of any that I've missed(which I'm sure will be quite a few), please feel free to add to it.
+1(Or any number) = Agreed. The bigger the number, the more you agree. AFAICS = As far as I can see AFAIK = As far as I know Bump = To keep a thread at the top of the page. Feeler = Used in classifieds to determine if there's any interest in your item. F/S = For sale F/T = For trade FTF = Face to face FWIW = For what it's worth G.A.S. = Gun aquisition syndrome or gear acquisition syndrome GTG = Get together IIRC = If I remember correctly IMHO = In my humble opinion MOD = Moderator MHO = My humble opinion NOS = new old stock OBO = Or best offer OTOH = On the other hand POS = Piece of sh** WTB = Want to buy WTS = Want to sell WTT = Want to trade YMMV = Your mileage may vary
