not dumb, the hardest part about acronyms are figuring out what they all mean, there are so many TLAs IRL that I have TKU

TLA = Three Letter Acronym
IRL = In Real Life
TKU = Trouble Keeping Up (this one I made up)

but, luckily there is help...

They've all been added to my list of acronyms. Couldn't think of more than what was here. How about a list of oxymorons, like rap music, military intellingence?

ha ha...

Near where I used to live there are two lakes right near each other named Snafu and Tarfu (Things are REALLY Fucked Up) lake. The story goes that they were named by the road crew that had to build the winding road that goes between them.

Anyways good fishing in Snafu and Tarfu lakes.
