peteski Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 There are many non-modeling-specific abbreviations (like NSFW, YMMV, ROTFLMAO, YOLO, IIRC, IDK, and many others) used when people text each other, in emails, and in online forums. If you want to figure out what any of those mean, just type it into a Google search. The explanation will pop right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
