Abbreviation confusion

OK, I admit it! The shorthand around here is confusing me; at the risk of seeming reeeaaalllyy stupid, could someone compile a list of all the terms you guys shorten up, like SSP, LOL, etc. There's got to be 30 to 40 of them and I don't like being in the dark, well, I do, but you know what I mean.

This should help with most abbreviations:

SSP is a bit of a "local dialect" SSP = Shameless Self Promotion = "I'm sellin' somethin' and I want you all to buy it."

Since we're all opening up and admitting ignorance - what is a "Dammit Boy"?

I've often wondered the same thing.

On that same note, until just recently, I thought DPOTD stood for "Dumb Post of the Day" but then I found out it was a good thing.

A "Dammit Boy" is one of those awards of distinction given out on the Open Forum. They started with POTD (Post Of The Day) and proliferated from there.
