Glossary: Acronyms
 

Hi all --

I know that I've been confused many times by the terms and the acronyms that are tossed about this forum. I'll get to the terms later, but here is a short list of the acronyms and their full expressions. There are no definitions here, but the expressions should give you a start.

As I get more I will fold them into this roster -- so keep those cards and letters coming!

BTW, "LOL" usually means laughing out loud. "PCOS" is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and "DOMS" is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
