FAQ With Initials?

[PghMitchS]

I'm still learning my way around here and picking up the lingo, but one thing frequently has me baffled. Many of the Forumites use initial abbreviations for the names of the various Khukuris. I can figure our some of them, but others totally elude my translation.

Could we get a FAQ / sticky with common abbreviations for the names of the Khukuris?

Thanks for considering it . . .

It might be easier if you post just the ones you don't understand...

here's a link to some: http://www.novarata.net/files/files/KhukAbrv1.pdf

Beyond the names for khukuris, I've been stumped by various abbreviations found in forum posts (like YMMV, IIRC, and SWMBO) until I Googled them.

Be on the lookout for an HI "BMF" khukuri made by "BAK" the bad-a$$ kami. That is, any monster chopper you don't recognize is a BMF model.

OK, OK, I'm sufficiently chided . . . Now BMF, I understand as being roughly the same as BFK

It's when abbreviations like CAK or that one with a "Y" somewhere in it start whizzing past that I get confused. Maybe best to ask for clarification while I can get them in context.
