Acronym Section?
 

Hey Guys,
Being a military member, I am very familiar with many acronyms....but....I am trying to get smart on some of the stuff and not versed in the acronyms...OK, so i figured out a few CAI, cold are intake for example, but there are others that are not intuitive to me such as HFE. Is there a list of acronyms on the site? Thanks!

Chris

we can just list them here.

WM = washer mod

HFE = High Flow Exhaust?

or are you confusing

HFC = high flow cat
+
CBE = cat back exhaust?

FI/F.I = supposed to mean forced induction, but for some it also means Fast Intentions (exhaust).

TP = test pipe

PRCD = Prius Race Car Driver
DPRCD = Distracted Prius Race Car Driver

LMFAOSHTMSFOAIDMT= Laughed my f*kin @$$ off so hard that my sombrero fell off and I dropped my taco

LGSST :ugh:

ASSUME = @SS out of U and ME

Lots of these are abbreviations and not acronyms. Acronyms for words that can be pronounced. (E.g. LASER, RADAR, or NASA). LOL, CBE, and the like are just plain- o abbreviations.

I really hate to nit-pick, but you're wrong.

Acronym

Acronyms don't have to spell a word.

Thanks you are the only one who gave me a serious answer.!

Pronounceability is optional for most definitions of acronym I can find.

Some acronyms that are pronounceable go on to become full-fledged words, eg, laser is now considered by many to be a word instead of an acronym and not capitalized.

BOHICA = Bend Over Here It Comes Again

cel; check engine light

The word you're thinking of is initialisms. That said, acronym used to have to be a pronounceable word but has come to mean the same as initialism as that's how it's used most often these days.
