I always thought IMHO was In My Humble Opinion.

Not really related to reefing and I use a few at work.

I am sure everyone knows;

FUBAR = F'd Up Beyond All Recognition

SNAFU = Situation Normal, All F'd Up

BBR = Burned Beyond Recognition

And although not really an acronym and NEVER put in writing when a connectivity issue is created by the customer it is an ID 10 T error. Put together that's pronounced ID10T error. I work on multifunction copiers and faxes that are connected to computer networks. I can only say that Joe Pesci's voice is on the commercials.
