Monty-Python IM slang from RickLibrarian may soon replace smilies and ROFL–for example:
- IALAIOK – I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay.
- ANFSCD – And now for something completely different
- STMIAN – She turned me into a newt! (“A common complaint,” says RickLibrarian)
- NETSI – Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
But why should Python-ites have all the fun? Star Warsians use MTFBWY (“May the Force be with you”), but surely there’s a lot of good stuff still unmined:
- IHAVBFAT – I have a very bad feeling about this.
- DODNTINT – Do or do not. There is no try.
- WSGTBWCOOMW – Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
I’d also like to nominate:
- MSSIT – My Satan sense is tingling.(The Simpsons)
- FBIFMTQYDCOSC – Far be it from me to question your dumb civilization or stupid customs. (Futurama)
- SMAKIBBFB – Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast. (Red Dwarf)
That’s enough! Signing off now, but you know I’ll return, so SMAKIBBFB.
Thanks to The Shifted Librarian for this link!
p.s. Awesomely, the Acronym Finder does indeed know about MTFBWY and ANFSCD. Did you know that NETSI also stands for New England Tech Stock Index? I wonder if the Python-ians could patent that acronym as prior art and then sue for damages–wow, maybe enough leftover dotcom options to wallpaper a castle…
Thanks to the improbable Marc Abrahams for his find of this acronym finder…
