Acronyms are here to stay...I was recently asked (in person) if I was going to "FMQ" my quilt. Not if I was going to "Free motion quilt" it, she pronounced the acronym! And every quilter knows what a UFO is, right? I hear that one all the time in the real world.
Someone at my guild recently printed off this list of acronyms (or one similar to it) and was reading it to the group and getting lots of laughs. Some of them really are very funny.
It did take me a moment to figure out what "YBR" stood for, though. That one isn't as common. (Doesn't bother me, though)
