Sorry, such a silly little thing for an entire new message thread.

so what does FOO stand for?

I looked online but Google came up with Java stuff and things like Flight Office Operations.

I've seen it mentioned everywhere. Unless your all undercover Foo Fighters fans. If so, can I get some free tickets?

Oh no! Hold on...Family of Origin!?

And SU? Suicidal Urges?

I didn't know where to ask!? Lol.

IMHO - in my humble opinion
IYKWIM - if you know what i mean
IDK - i don't know
WTF - what the...i think everyone knows this one
Ah, and this:

JICTAADCTNTSO.

No, just kidding lol.

There will be entire acronym sentences one day, mark my words MMW. Ah, thats a good one! I might write a dictionary and dedicate it to Johnson.
