Just the other day I got a text message from a friend asking what IDK meant. I replied I don't know. She replied, "Ugh, I've asked everyone, and no one knows what it means!". I didn't even bother to try to correct her. :roll:

Remember the episode of Taxi when Jim Ignatowski was testing for a driver's license?

"Psst. Hey, Alex. What does a yellow light mean?"

"Slow down."

"What...does...a...yellow...light...mean?"

"Slow down!"

"What . . . does . . . a . . . yellow . . . light . . . mean?

"Slow down!!"

"Okie doke. Whaaaaaat . . . doessssss . . . aaaaa . . . yelllllowwwww . . . liiiiiiight . . . meeeaaaannn?"

"SLOW DOWN!!!"

You mean TLAs? :grin:

Yes that is a Good example!

I have to deal with them all the time at work and it can really get confusing.

I get a work order: 5600. ORP in PRB1 will not run.

There are 16 buildings at sewer plant 5600. PRB1 means plant water return building #1. The PBR1 has 12 pumps and also feeds 22 mixers. ORP means "O"? return pump.

So I'm wandering around trying to figure out which building, which pump and so on. I have to service 16 different plants with different TLA's! I'm too old to remember all of them!
