There are a ga-zillion acronyms used on the net. I thought cars and trucks were bad enough as they have used them for years and change them yearly to confuse mechanics and parts guys I believe.
Here is a link for "some' acronyms used. personallt I only use a couple like LOL, BTW, FYI.
SBM?????I have absolutely no idea.

some other examples;
AFAICS = As far as I can see
BTW = By the way
FWIW = For what it's worth
FYI = For your information
IMHO = In my humble opinion (egoless)
IMAO = In my arrogant opinion (a lot of ego)
IMNSHO = In my not-so humble opinion (a lot of ego)
IMO = In my opinion (a little ego)
KUTGW = Keep Up The Good Work
MYOB = Mind your own business
OTOH = On the other hand
RTFM = Read the ___ manual
SO = Significant other (as in, "My SO and I went for a walk...")

I thought it was f'ed up beyond all recognition. That was in a movie about 15 years ago or so, but I cant remember which one. Dont ask me how I know that, as I do not even watch movies. Last movie I seen in the theater was Driving Miss Daisy or When Harry met Sally- whichever came out last.

I put "fouled" inside quotes figuring that those that partake of coarser language would know, and those that do not partake of such earthy words wouldn't be offended ROF
