Could I please calmly and politely request AGAIN that posters not use acronyms unless

they are COMMONLY used and understood?

We should not have to Google a string of letters in order to understand your post.

I don't need to give examples because MANY know what I'm talking about.

No, but the photographers onboard would send the newbies for a bottle of cloud eradicator so they could see through the clouds on overhead photos..

Personally I'd send them for a 1/4 amp FM fuse..(Radioman thing. Not fully connecting the patch cord resulted in the TTY doing a jitter kinda thing. Only a new fuse could fix it).

I like inserting fahrvergnugen from the old VW commercials into such acronyms, myself.  Further confuses folks.

Personally enjoy making up portmanteaus that have never been uttered before. Those also confuse people and can be an amusing inside joke amongst friends.
