FYI
FYI – For Your Information

P.S.
PS, what you write at the end of letters, Post Script [English. In Latin: Post Scriptum]
ESL & EFL
ESL, like when you see it with English, English as a Second Language
EFL – English as a Foreign Language
DIY
DIY – Do it Yourself. Like a project that you might do it yourself, without professional help.
ID
ID. It means your Identification. This is what you present when you go to a bar, if you look like you’re underaged.
IQ
IQ is your Intelligence Quotient, which is what a lot of intelligence tests will measure.
GMO
GMO means Genetically Modified Organism, so make sure you don’t eat GMO’s.
PC
PC – Personal Computer
PR

SOS
SOS, what you might see if you’re stranded or stuck on a desert island, you might write in the sand SOS – Save Our Souls. This is to get help. (Note: also, this may also mean “Save Our Ship”).
AWOL
AWOL means Absent Without Leave. Leave is to have permission to leave, to be on vacation. So, this comes from the military. You might say this when you have a friend or somebody that’s missing, so that person is AWOL.
MIA
Another way to say the same thing is MIA – Missing in Action.
POW
POW, another military term, is Prisoner of War.
AD & BC
AD, which means past the year 0, like, we’re in 2014 AD. AD means Anno Domini, which is a Latin word.\
CE & BCE
BC is Before Christ. But nowadays they’re using CE for the modern era, so, we’re in 2014 CE, which is AD, which is secular, not really attached to religion. *Correction- CE and BCE mean Common Era and Before CommonEra.
And then BCE is Before Common Existence, it’s the same as BC.
i.e.
So, sometimes when you’re writing, or you’re reading, you might see IE, which means in other words. So, in Latin, I’m not going to try to pronounce this, but here it is on the screen.
e.g.
And EG, which means for example, and here it is in Latin. So, you might use those in writing, and you might recognize this when you’re reading something.
DOB
So, DOB means Date of Birth. You might see this on an application.
OCD
OCD means Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so it’s a mental disorder.
MD
MD means Medical Doctor.
HR
HR means Human Resources, and DOA means Dead on Arrival. You might hear this in like a police show or something.
BYOB
BYOB. You might see this on an invitation to a party. This means Bring Your Own Beer. Bring Your Own Beer or Bring Your Own Booze, which is another word for alcohol.
OG
OG, which means Original Gangster, or…
SOL
SOL, which means S**t Out of Luck. S**t Out of Luck. It means that you are out of luck and you have no chance.
