Most of us have heard acronyms over and over and know what they mean but the real question and it will be a fun one do you know what they stand for??
Today’s quiz will involve 15 common acronyms that you have heard over and over again.
Do you know what they stand for?
You will be on the honor system and all you need to do is say yes or no that you know what it is.
What I am asking is look at the acronym and take 5 or so seconds to say yes or no I know what it stands for.
I promise this will be fun and you will learn something for sure!
Good luck and who knows we may even give out a prize and yes the quiz will be timed so please don’t use Google to help.
Thanks for playing we will post the correct answers on Friday July 16.

Merrill Dubrow says:
Carl,
Wow! No idea about LSMFT but was on the phone with Jeffrey Lorber who did know it and thinks it is Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. With regard to TTGTB – only a guess. Ta ta good times baby – and you said it before she went to sleep. Actually I am sure that is wrong – help! What is it?

CARL ISEMAN says:
Merrill….LSMFT is an old advertisng slogan from the ’50s-’60s for cigarettes: Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco;
