FWIW, IMO we could use this! Frequently used abbrv. in this case.

[jmflu]

I can usually follow the abbreviations pretty well, but have never figured out a couple of them. Thought it would be nice to post some of the well-used jargon for any newer posters who might have questions... and hopefully find out what some others mean myself! Please feel free to add any I missed!

LE = law enforcement
SW = search warrant
JMHO = just my humble opinion
JMO = just my opinion
MO = my opinion
IMO = in my opinion
TOD = time of death
COD = cause of death
AR = autopsy report
ME = medical examiner
IIRC = if I remember correctly
FWIW = for what it's worth
ETA = edited to add
HT = Harris Teeter
LTF = Lifetime Fitness
K&B = Kurtz & Blum
NC = Nancy Cooper
BC = Brad Cooper
JA = Jessica Adam
DD = Diana Duncan
HP = Hannah Pritchard
CM = Clea Morwick
SH = Scott Heider
HHM = Heather Heider Metour
JLY = Jason Lynn Young, husband and alleged murderer of Michelle Young, Raleigh
JY = J.A. Young, Sr. Detective, Cary Police Dept.

ETA can also be Edited to Add -

I don't know about htis board but I know at some other boards I visit there is a thread that lists all the abbreviatios and their meanings. There may be one here too. I'll have a look around and see if I can find anything gor you

oh and some posters use JLY for Jason Young so as not to confuse him with J. Young the detective on Nancy's case.

Thanks, TG

Well I looked around and I don't see an abbreviation thread anywhere.

Maybe this one will be useful for someone, then.

Do you see anything I forgot?

[Topsail Girl]

none at the moment but if I recall any I'll PM you so you can update your list.

[jilly]

TOD - time of death
COD - cause of death
AR - autopsy report

[Topsail Girl]

oh good ones, Jilly. Peppurr's is sooo cute. MyDaughter adopted a one eyed torti (Lola) not long ago and she's a real sweetie. I thought of you and your sweetie when I first saw Lola.

[Topsail Girl]

ME = Medical Examiner

[christine2448]

[jmflu]

Cool! Thanks!

[SleuthyGal]

JY = J. Young, attorney

Pssst. Jmflu,

That should be J.A. Young, Sr. Detective, Cary Police Dept.

"JLY = Jason Young" should be "JLY = Jason L. Young, husband and alleged murderer of Michelle Young, Raleigh"

Also, "SH = Scott Hider" is spelled Heider.

Should probably add:

HHM = Heather Heider Metour (no hyphen)

HP = Hannah Pritchard
CM = Clea Morwick


thanks!

[raisincharlie]

Pssst SG - thats Jason Lynn Young. :crazy:

IDK, do you think that's all inclusive? I'll search for more, would that be OK? I will try to get to it ASAP. IMO, I like a key. Sometimes I just look at them and it's like, DAK. (deny all knowledge)

My head is spinning :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Uh... I'm not sure if you're being serious, funny, or sarcastic, but... good job, I"m sure somebody got it! LOL

FYI, for better readability and longer term usage, I'd recommend removing all the (thanks soAndso) from the actual listing of abbreviations. If you think it's important to thank individual contributors, then perhaps a separate post listing your thanks and the names, if you want. That way visitors to the thread don't have to see additional clutter next to the listing of abbreviations, which I'm sure they'd appreciate. :smile:

Good idea. Will do!

Second entry- Iam slow at this
I have found that Urban dictionary does a really good job at interpreting letters for
words which I suspect in reality is SMS short message service. Google also does a decent job. It is not that difficult to understand once you have read through several message
boards. It seems like every organization whether they are business social or religious has its own jargon or shorthand. It makes everyone "feel" special

[LexiJadesMommy]

I happened upon this site while researching Casey/Caylee Anthony and now I'm completely addicted! This list of abbreviations is very helpful for a newbie like myself :)
