Slang/Short Hand

[Angel LaHash]

I wounder if it would be possible to have a List of Short Hands you lot use..

like GAS (think i think of is GAS!) PUP (Play Up Pompey)
as i dont use these every day, i just would like some were to ref to them when i need them. Even Dating has short hand and you need to know it for well going on dates.. GOSH and such i wont go in to the more x-rated ones but.. you get the picture..

Would be good as a STICKY POST .. HINT HINT

I Edited the List below so you could have a Alphabet list, and as people say them and i get around to edited it .. ive put them in the places the A-Z there is because i never learnt the song.. so i get lost in the middle ABCEDEGHIJKLMNOP____XYZ
QR..ST..U.VW are the ones i keep forgetting .. should remember VW (Volks Wagon) and i knwo ST are together just need to remember were and the QR and U
