OT means Out of Topic? In french we say HS (for Hors Sujet).

I'm really surprised that this is the first time you've seen "OT" being used. I can only presume it's because you don't normally ready English websites/discussion boards but I still find it intriguing that you've never encountered it before.

In Sweden we use "OT" as well but it's referring to "Off Topic" and not something Swedish.

I read mostly english websites/discussion boards (reddit, HN) and I know a bunch of abbreviations (IIRC, INB4, AFAIK, QED, IFF, ST...) but I don't remember seeing OT. Learning new stuff everyday :D

HS may also mean Hors Service (Out-of-order)
