Now and then we have to remember with as many new members we have that our every day lingo becomes like a maze to them. Since people are lost on these and asking...here you go! Seasoned posters can feel free to add their own since I will probably forget half of them.

LE= Law Enforcement
POI= Person Of Interest
COD= Cause Of Death
TOD= Time OF Death
ITA= I Totally Agree
= Piece of (Reserved for a known perp, suspect, or POI)
IIRC= If I Recall Correctly
FWIW= For What Its Worth
COB= The story behind this is on the Jessie Davis case, someone meant to type COP in reference to Bobby Cutts, Jr. and it came out COB. We called him that for the rest of the case and now it had become synonymous with .
OT= Off Topic
WTH= What The Hell? (Usually reserved for frustration in understanding what is taking place within a certain situation...such as in this case. I see it a lot when discussing Casey Anthony.)
GMAB= Give Me A Break
 
How about

GM- grandmother
GP- grandparents
 
<modsnip>

BS=This isn't Bull Snot.
PITA=Pain In The Arse.

bumping means to move it back to the top so people can see it.
 
Just read a post with "FUBAR"-- had to look up the meaning-- lol
"Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition"
 
This may have been posted already and I missed it but

IMO: In my opinion
IMHO: In my humble/honest opinion
 
LOL feel free to blast me but can someone share with me what/who LE stands for?
 
It took me such a long time to figure out what LE stood for! All the other abbreviations take me a while to figure out too, unless they're obvious.

I just figured out now that BH stands for bounty hunters.

Sometimes it's so hard to figure out, unless you read every single thread, every day.
 
don't feel bad I found myself wondering what AI stood for in an article I was reading- figured out they were refering to "artificial intelligence"
...scary...it's ....h e r e !
 
bumppp for those that are interested
 
Sometimes I feel like we need a WS dictionary to refer to LOL!! Sorta like a WS handbook for Newbies
 
i've tried to find it --- but someone used "sus"??????????
