FFS!  

These are just a few of the 74! abbreviations listed in a glossary on a discussion forum site:

  • FFS for f**k's sake
  • FWIW for what it's worth
  • FYI for your information
  • HTH hope this helps
  • IIRC if I remember correctly
  • IKWYM I know what you mean
  • IME in my experience
  • IMHO in my humble opinion
  • IMO in my opinion
  • IYKWIM if you know what I mean
  • IYSWIM if you see what I mean
  • LMP last menstrual period
  • LOL laugh out loud
( . . . . for the sake of full disclosure, the discussion forum is for parents and people trying to become parents—still, that second-to-last item took me a little by surprise.)
