So I understand SWMBO, IMO, IMHO, FWIW. But what does YMMV mean?

Being an old fogey, I don't know all of those, but YMMV means "your mileage may vary." At least it does sometimes.

"Your meaning may vary", too, eh?

Unless you live in a country that uses the metric system; then it means "Your metreage may vary."

"You'se Message Might Vacillate"!

Rick Denney · Post by **Rick Denney** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 5:45 pm

I've often wondered what it meant. These came to me while I pondered the context of the messages where the abbreviations were used:

Young Militants Make Violence

Youthful Matrimony Means Vexation

Yankee Mouths Moan Vituperation

York's Monster Made Victorious

Yodeling Man Marks Vanity

Yammering Multiple Mad Villains

Y'all Make Moot Vulgarity

Y'all Make Mute Vulgarity

This is almost as good as "finish the limericks". bloke, thanks for the link. I am fogey enough that the shorthand makes me scratch my head sometimes.

Ralph, that would be YMVV. We are doing YMMV right now, man. (Heh, heh, hehâ€¦ )

Perhaps what he meant to write was "You Must Massacre Violas"

Or "You Must Masticate Violas".

I would have to have a troll account to write what came to my mind when I read this.
