Here is another one I learned recently:

JOOC ~ Just Out of Curiousity

I just want to mention that IIRC and FWIW were covered on page one and two of this topic, so please read all the pages first before asking.

Thanks,

Do "we" use acronyms for all weird Al songs that are over one word long?
Like : "you don't lonve me anymore"=ydlmam ?????????????
or is there a pecial "RULE" for abbreviating song names (and have you noticed abbrviation is such a long word..and hard to spell,especially for me?)????

Some songs have them and some don't. For some reason, it's the more recent songs that have them: IAATP, GiF, even HS. We don't use GJWTHL very often (although in fairness, we discuss the other three songs more).

Ok, I thought I was pretty good with the song name acronyms, but you have stumped me, anth! What does GJWTHL stand for?

Ah, no wonder I didn't know. Everyone always slams that song.

Thanks, anth!

But I mean, Linux on Standby...its such a common phrase. And Random Open Office Tree......ok, mask off. Did you take more tylenol extra powerful pills than it says too? I mean.....RANDOM OPEN OFFICE TREE. Is that even a real phrase used by anyone?
