For us poor newbies to the forum world, would someone kindly post what some of the acronyms mean? I'll start with the ones I know.
WAFF: Warm and Fuzzy Feeling
WHAM: Wrenching Hurtful Aching Moment
I think that's it, besides regular internet abbreviations. I'm really curios as to what FDK stands for.

List of episode acronyms. An oldie but a goodie. And y'know, some of those should get used more. Particularly IWWATFTDCIDDGWIHOA, SPOCK, SWOCK, TPFIC, and especially YASA.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

It's pretty much six of one and half a dozen of another, but I've always known WHAM to stand for Wistful, Heartwrenching, Agonising Moment. Same thing though.  LabRat
