WDIK Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Most are familiar with email acronyms such as LOL, IMO, BTW, FYI, etc. I got to thinking that BenefitsLink posters could save a lot of typing (and possible carpal tunnel syndrome) if some BenefitsLink acronyms were adopted. For example: CPP - This topic has already been discussed ad nauseum. Use the forums search capabilities and check prior posts. PD - What does the plan document say? OR You must follow the plan document? OR Have you read/referred to the plan document? OR It depends on the plan document? etc. LC - You should obtain competent legal counsel on this matter. OR Sorry, you're going to have to pay for this advice. OR You may already be in a lot of trouble! These seem to be the three most popular responses. Any other suggestions? (P.S. Please do not take this post too seriously. It is all in good fun.) ...but then again, What Do I Know?
jevd Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 How about GP for Gov Publication How many times do we refer folks to PUB 590, 560, 571, 575 etc etc JEVD Making the complex understandable.
maverick Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 How about FUBAR (fouled up beyond all recognition) - a plan that's so screwed up the only option is to terminate it, bury the documents, and hope it never gets audited. Have a good weekend. p.s. What does WDIK stand for? Only thing I can think of is "what do I kare".
AndyH Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 412(i) means that a heated argument is about to ensue. WOW means .....well, I'll let Mike or someone else explain that one. Good idea, WDIK
Kirk Maldonado Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 AndyH: I think your posting on 412(i) has become out of date with the new IRS releases. I think that 412(i) now means "Prepare to pay big tax bill." Kirk Maldonado
WDIK Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 What's P.S.? Paranoid Schizophrenic OR Pension Subtilties OR Post Script (Take your pick) ...but then again, What Do I Know?
WDIK Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 What does WDIK stand for? Works Diligently If Kicked (Actually, it's in the signature.) ...but then again, What Do I Know?
Kirk Maldonado Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 WDIK: I was relieved to find out that PS wasn't a shorter version of PMS. Kirk Maldonado

WDIK Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 A recent string of posts prompted thoughts of another appropriate acronym. 2G2BT (Too good to be true!) ...but then again, What Do I Know?
