20. And if you see "moran", it is not a mispelling.

It comes from some stupid RW idiot who had it as a sign.

Sorry, I'm not good at pics here. Maybe someone will post it.

YMMV means "your mileage may vary." If someone tells you "bless your heart", you are not being complimented in any way, lol.

Otoh (on the other hand), if Skittles schedules you for an ass-kicking, that IS a compliment.

You'll catch on lol. Stay away from threads on fried chicken, pit bulls, or circumcision.
