CLASSIC, tsukiji. Just classic. And I think a good litmus test of peoples minds if they get what it means. I guess that makes me pretty screwed up.

OK?

AOK?
Will this be posted in the performance terms glossary thread

taking this a step lower... According to an employee I know at yahoo who handles finances, 75% of the revenue generated for them is adult related. Lots of people may not like that at all but it drives the $$ on the internet...higher bandwidth/memory requirements/larger server farms for video streaming etc.. I'm not involved in that business nor am I saying that is right or not, just a fact. There's a ton more offensive things on the internet than WingsToFly. Simple solution, if you worry about the content your 8 year old may see over your shoulder, do your internet surfing when your 8 year old is in bed.

Well, according to the internet acronym dictionary, GFY means "good for you"!

Wow dialog - ain't freedom of speech great.

Try including WTF in an application for a loan, obituary, letter to the editor, letter or email to your minister, priest, rabbi, yoga master, mother, grandmother, or perhaps to your professor/teacher/daycare attendant/wet nurse.

Oh Oh - try including WTF in an email to your boss about why you should get the raise.

You'll go far.

Just my opinion. This clown speaks for himself

Why this suggestion? I think most of us here have a sense of what is and isn't appropriate in each venue we negotiate. You started out concerned about your eight-year-old son's "exposure" to an acronym, and now you're worried about these other folks?! I guess I'd agree with fitch, who suggested surfing the net when your child has gone to bed. Alternatively, teaching him about privacy, as in not reading another person's monitor without their permission, is in order.
