While I do try, sometimes I'm left stumped and unable to figure it it out. Perhaps there are others like me that cant decipher what members are referring to. So I decided to start this thread to see if the awesome YLF members can't make up some sort of reference list for the most used acronyms. I'll start with what I've figured out already and hopefully we can get a good list going. Here's what I got so far:</p> <p>YLF- You look Fab (no-brainer right?, it took me a full 10 seconds to figure it out)<br /> CoH- Citizens of Humanity (Designer)<br /> WHBM- White House Black Market (retailer)<br /> PPL- Perfect Pant Length?<br /> ETA- No idea (my brain goes to Estimated time of Arrival but that cant be right)</p> <p>Ok members.. help a new girl not feel so new on the forum and give me all your acronyms! </p>
