[NathanDavis]

surprisingly... I'm familiar with all of them except one... I didn't know what AED was, lol

[AviatorTom]

@NathanDavis Hint: you might use an AED while waiting for the EMT...

[NathanDavis]

WTF... no

[IndianPhotoAcademy]

I am aware of quite a few, but not all of them. While some, like LOL, TBH, or FOMO, are simple, the longer or more specialized ones truly get me thinking. It's nearly impossible to be familiar with every acronym unless you're always online and keeping up with the latest developments in internet culture.

[RavVid]

[WindAtMyBack]

I know all but two of them ( AED and AITA ). But since most acronyms stand for multiple things, it might not be the same as you had in mind.

[loveslongnails]

I know about half with full wording, and what most others pertain to without know the exact words.
