What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m.
Tags: three-letter abbreviations, acronyms, wtf, lol

Sure, the art of texting spawned many new three-letter initials / acronyms, but there are plenty of classics that have nothing to do with cellular communication. For absolutely no reason at all, I compiled a list of classic three-letter acronyms. Add more via the Talkback feature.

DND (Do not disturb)
DNR (Do not resuscitate)
ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)
FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
FYC (Fine Young Cannibals)
JFK (John F. Kennedy)
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
LOL (Laugh out loud)
LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)
OMC (OnMilwaukee.com)
PDF (Public display of affection or portable document format)
PIN (Personal identification number)
RIP (Rest in peace)
SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)

IDK - I don't know WTG - Way to go I used to love playing acrophobia where you were in this chat room and had 3 to 5 random letters and you had to come up with an acronym within 30 seconds with a theme, and then everyone voted on what was best. Some crazy things can pop up in a situation like that.
