Okay this post http://www.ball-pythons.net/PNphpBB2...ic-t-2771.html got me thinking about things that are SO obvious once you learn what or why but so confounding when first approached! The example was what in the world is the R in ROTM?
Answer - Reptile
here are some that got me:
Why is Arby's called Arby's?
Roast Beef = R.B. as in "throw me some more of those R.B.'s Jonah, Eddie and Wizill showed up, we're gonna need a wheelbarrow" or - "Throw me some more of those Ar-By's"
Why is the filter of a Parliment cigarette recessed?
So that army troops could bite the end of the filter to hold in their mouths while smoking without affecting air flow too badly, also without having to taste filter juice. So troops could hold the cigarette in their mouths during hikes or combat by biting the overhanging section on the recessed filter.
What does IMO stand for?
In My Opinion.
What about IMHO?
In My Humble Opinion.
What are some that threw you for a loop?

Not that this anything reptile related but ...
In my newbie days as a freshman comp sci major i had a professor that always said RTFM. It took me one whole semester to figure out what in the world he was saying .
RTFM = Read the f*&$#@^ manual

Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

I LOVE T-Mobile - they are the best cell phone service provider I have ever used (I've used Sprint, ATT, and Verizon) *sorry to get so off topic* but I LOVE my t-mobile phone and the customer service has been AMAZING!

Plus, Katherine Zeta Jones is hotter than all get out!
Life is like a game of poker. You can play each hand to the best of your ability but you are still going to run into a bad beat from time to time. What matters is how you handle it. Do you go on tilt or can you maintain your composure & rebuild your stack?

And related to what Carson was saying, here's a few more geek references:
