Do a tag search on OMGWTFBBQ and you may still be able to find where it came from.

But doing a tag search wouldn't tell you that unless it had originated on this board, and even then only if within the last three years.

Most of the initialisms, acronyms and mnemonics I learned at university are sadly unsuitable for a family audience.
