You’ve likely already heard some of these around the office, but perhaps you’re not quite as “acronym-savvy” as some of your colleagues. So, here’s a quick guide to keep you “in the loop”:
1. IAM: In a meeting.
2. LET: Leaving early today.
3. LMK: Let me know.
4. OOO: Out of office.
5. OT: Off topic.
6. POC: Point of contact.
7. NRN: No reply necessary.
8. NSFW: This could come in handy the next time you want to share the latest viral video. It might well be the most hilarious one you’ve seen in ages, but is it work-friendly? If it’s not, then use NWR, “Not work related,” or even NSFW, “Not safe for work!
9. BTW: By the way.
10. TL;DR: You know what it’s like. You receive a report or email that seems to go on for pages and pages, and you just don’t have the time. In this case, you may well use, “Too long; didn’t read.”
11. WFH: Working from home.
12. WIIFM: If you’re thinking of investing in a new venture, you might well ask yourself, “What’s in it for me?”
13. JGI: If you frequently turn to your browser to solve those small but annoying little questions that pop up in the day, you’ll likely say, “Just Google it.”
14. BID: Break it down.
15. OTP: On the phone.
16. TYT: Take your time.
17. WOM: Word of mouth.
18. COB or COP: Close of business or close of play.
19. EOD: Similar to COB, EOD means “end of day.”
