I used to work for a steel company you think this place is bad try working where I did. My co-workers and I counted over 150 of them.

BTW how long did it take you to put that list together it looks pretty complete to me.

[aLittletank]

those are the ones off the top of my head (OTTOMH) :) There are probably 3 times that many I just can't think of right now.

How 'bout "FOWLR". That one stumped me for a while when I first started in this hobby.

What does the AYCS mean at the end of ROTFLMAOAYCS.....or don't I want to know?

That was created the other day, I think Rick.

I think it's "At Your Crazy Sh*t".

I work for BAS - Boeing Airplane Systems - a division of the Boeing Company that designs and sells retrofit kits for our commercial airliners. We have more TLA's than we can count - some official and some not.

I just remembered one I originated on this board a couple of days ago: SSS - Shimek Sumpless System.

Sorry people,
I spent 2 years working for the United States Air Force. They had a manual for workers to look all the acronyms up in. Literally thousands and thousands of them. Imagine that!

[Dwayne]

OK, anybody can compile a list of TLAs.

The Challenge:
How few words and how many TLAs can you use in a discussion and have it still make sense?

This is nothing. My father worked at the Kennnedy Space Center (KSC) for 20 years (he was an STM who worked in the LCC). When people from KSC talk about work it is almost like listening to another language. Here is a list of acronyms that I grew up with listening to: http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/inforcenter/acronym.htm
