iStock Talk

We use all kind of funny acronyms on iStockphoto.com .  There was a thread this morning in the discussion forum requesting a dictionary of those terms.  I was going to write a whole article about them, but then, this afternoon, I discovered Ethan Myerson beat me to it, a while back.  Check out his post on such amusing acronyms as AOTW, H*ck and pimp, here:

I will however, point out my claim to acronym fame as the first person to use the term “BME” for “best month ever”, here:

Really.  Here’s a google search for “BME“.  See if you can find a thread less than 36328.

Thank goodness I already had my 15 seconds of fame.  I wouldn’t want this to be it.
