TOCOTOX = Too Complicated TO eXplain (often used to not explain one's silly argument)
NTTAWWT = Not That There's Anything Wrong With That (acronym of a 'Seinfeld' line referring to gay relationships, and the PC response - lately used disparagingly to mock PC'ness).
IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer. (Often followed by "but..." and some crappy legal advice).
chat-speak on AOL (I have relatives who've been on AOL ten years now, and (silly guys) PROUD of it). They use these in email to me, and get perplexed when I ask them to translate.
Edit to add:
NOITAU: No offense intended toward AOL users..
Edit2 to add the classic too-long acronym: 'TANSTAAFL'. Free beer at my house to the one who can explain it, it's origin, and why it's "too long".

While I was stationed in Korea it was IHTFP. We had it put on out squadron hats. We got a new commander in and he asked what it meant. We told him, "I Have To Find Paradise". He later discovered it meant, "I Hate This ******* Place"!!! I along with my other fellow NCO's got LOC's for it. :laugh4:

Let us not forget FUBAR, as brought to us by the men who went out of their way to rescue Mr James Ryan.
Also, all the other ridiculous army acronyms - there are many, of which BPFA might be one of the scariest - Basic Physical Fitness Assessment.

LOCs? Clarify please.
Letter of counseling. A write-up saying that you did something slightly naughty. The next step is something a little more severe, like an SRB entry(Service Record Book- It's your official military file).
And I was thinking LOC stood for Letter of Commendation. :laugh4:
