Need help with acyonyms

Can someone please tell me where to find a guide to the acryonyms used on this site. I can figure out the acronyms that the airlines use for their destinations but I am lost when I see a message repeated with just the initials ttt or YGM or YHM.

Welcome to FT CBD! YHM and YGM are, you have mail and you got mail. Same as AOL commercial. I think TTT is ta ta ta. Could be wrong about that. Enjoy FT!!

I just found a glossary. I have spent the last hour ( probably even more) looking for this and found it within 2 minutes after my earlier post. If anyone else needs this:go to FAQs at the bottom go to HELP and this find the glossary.

OOOPPS... and here I thought "ttt" was "T____ to top" to indicate bumping a thread back to the top. Not sure what the first T meant...

Guess I was wrong on that one.

William you could be right and I wrong. Chances are I am wrong. That was just a guess of the top of my head.

Actually ttt "to the top" makes sense as a way to get the original post back "to the top". I have seen "bump" used that way.

Other than destinations, which you know, and airline codes, the acronyms used here are the same as used anywhere on the Web: LOL for "laugh out loud," "IMHO for "in my humble opinion," "YMMV" for "your mileage may vary" and so on. There's no special FT vocabulary in this regard. You can use any of the bazillion printed or online guides to Internet shorthand.
