[funkcanna]

Hi all,

You know, things like PITA!

Here's a website with some of the common abbreviations.

(btw, pita = pain in the a$$)

There's a relatively complete Scuba specific list here:

This thread is more specific to some of the more regional acronyms used on SB:

Have you tried doing a search?

A while back, Google added a feature for looking up the definitions. Search for "define:search_term" (i.e. "defineITA") and the listed links are those that seem to be specifically definitions, rather than just containing the keyword.
