NNOTQAP: Need N00b Off Topic Answers Please

[lchyi]

Yea, I've been browsing off topic for a week or so now from work because it's entertaining and all that jazz. But! Since I'm not really a forum junkie yet, I need to know what all these crazy acronyms mean! Post anything that you'd think would help me. YGPM, YMMV, YART, YACT, etc. Oh and from the Hot Deals forum too. I just realized that B&M stood for Brick and Mortar... uh like who the heck was going to figure that one out? Why don't they say in store? Hehe usually I'm good at figuring these out and I've been trying for a while. I guess I better step out of my n00b closet and ask now so I don't have to figure everything out hehe.
