NTTAWWT-not that there's anything wrong with that (from "Seinfeld" (I'd have another competition but there's only one cookie dough slot on my computer-at least I think "CD" stands for "cookie dough!"))

SO - significant other
IMNSHO - In my not so humble opinion
LOL - laughing out loud
SHTF - Stuff (ahem) hits the fan
TEOTWAWKI - The end of the world as we know it

(those last two often seen on the survival board!)
