WMW. ( What, me worry ?! )

NLA - 'no longer available' (I'm sure most of us have heard that from Sunset Porsche)

WWFD - what would Flash do? Used when re-designing a solution to a problem already solved in the pursuit of 'a little more' perfection; hours invested in the project exceed ROI.



WWJD - what would Joe (rxter) do? Used when designing a solution that relies exclusively on the liberal use of zipties.

WTF ?! ( no...for 968s that actually stands for What's The Fix ? ) Answers to the WTF question found on the Forums using the search engine, or, simply just asking again for a solution to the problem.



Oh, and I ruined my keyboard with spilled coffee as well, reading the WWFD acronym. Now that's funny !
