Default Alternative acronyms

I just had to post this following a text chat I just had with a friend...

Just told me it took them ages to work out what LOL stood for, thought it was


Love Only Lions!!


Bix will like that one.

Anyone else got any alternative versions of well known acronyms?

I've already admitted my niece explained LOL to me about 6 months ago - should I call her in to explain the rest or are they perhaps a little advanced for a 10 year old (methinks!)

Oh and I'll just have another

Cheers
