Some you have to get into the Urban Dictionary to find. I always felt there should be a glossary of terms for them too.
I struggled with sjw for 5 months and did not dare to ask, social justice warrior, who comes up with this crap.

Morning Milo ,HTHAU .......how the hell are you...LOL

 

[jwink]

I remember when you just said what you meant, but apparently people don't do that anymore.

 

[muleman69]

Maybe we can keep this going and have our very own dictionary and get it posted at the top of the page.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I’ll try to refrain from using GFY. That might open up a big can of WA.

 

[joshb]

You need to right them down because of CRS.............can’t remember shi#!!!
It’s an old guy’s problem.

Before the federally mandated EMS, Detroit Fire Department had 9 squads that handled all the rescue, hospital, or life saving runs. Then the feds came in and mandated that DFD had to have ‘medics” to specialize in these runs. The nine squads, who took medical emergency runs as well as fire runs were replaced by sixteen (16) EMS rigs, that did not respond to fires. Much of their time is spent in doing the paperwork in quadplicate for city, state, and federal bureaucracies. Who reads this crap? In the old days we spoke and understood ghettoese. If someone fainted,passed out, or was unconscious we were told by family members they done fell out. We abbreviated the report form that went only to Fire Department interests and no further. So we abbreviated done fell out to DFO. Now if that person passed it was abbreviated DFOFG. Done Fell Out For Good. We had to stop doing it that way.

Now that’s funny and I don’t care who you are.
