They're pretty common t'interweb acroynms - if you bookmark that acronym site, then any you can't figure out/remember just pop it on there and you should get the result.

Saves any of us typing them all out...

Can someone remind me what "OWNED" stands for please? It's been described on Briskoda before but I've forgotten Ta.

PS robmawer: your link is a Sticky on the Off Topic forum. Perhaps it should be a confetti sticky?

Mo

That's a bit of an internet gaming / geek one.

If you have been owned , you've been beaten.
It's also often written as pwned

Surely ETLA is just a CFLA, where as AFAIK is most certainly a ECFLA?
