The TLA - Three Letter Acronym thread!

[DwayneDibley]

Got this idea after a someone wasn't sure what 'SRP' stood for (Sexual RolePlaying I think!), then mentioned IRC, which I'm not sure about myself, other than it's some sort of IM programme.

So, if you could post a TLA, and it's full meaning, and we will eventually have an extensive database on those annoying TLAs!

We'll start with TLAs, then perhaps include 2 and 4 letter acronyms too.

Also, if there's a TLA you're not sure about, why not post it here for one of the other resident experts to decipher for you?

So, my starter for 10 is, what does IRC stand for?

Ooh, our first FOUR letter acronym! Think I might just do this for any acronym, but will keep the title the same as it's a bit more witty than it being just a general acronym title!

Welcome LM

MS stands for Microsoft, so MSN stands for Microsoft Network.


FBI can mean Federal Bureau of Investigation, or Full Blooded Italians.
