Aren't a lot of abbreviations unintuitive until you learn what they mean?

Didn't we just have a thread the other day about the meaning of "MDN" - which also many people didn't know.

I see on this site "IMO" "FWIW" "IANAL" "TLDR" all the time. You generally can't tell what these mean either without looking them up or just knowing already because of them being so engrained in culture.
