    The Acronym/Abbreviation Game
    Given the habit of using custom acronyms/abbreviations on this site, I thought it would be fun to see who knew what some more common ones (at least compared to the ones used here) stood for.

    Grouped in a way to make it a little easier....I hope

    BSG
    B5
    SW
    ANH
    ESB
    ROTJ
    PM
    AOTC
    ROTS
    ST
    TOS
    TNG
    DS9
    VOY
    ENT
    TMP
    TWOK
    SG1
    SGA
    SGU
    WOW
    BC
    WOTLK
    CATA

    That should be enough. :)

    Have fun!

    I'm considering the fact that I have absolutely no clue (or care) either as a VERY good thing, so don't sweat it. :gj:
