    TLA= Three-Letter Acronym

    NTB= Not Too Bad (also means Nuclear Test Ban )

    NuB= probably means Noobie, Newbie or New Guy who is new to all this

    EDC etc I think migrated over from knife forums. Also there are some army acronyms that get used. No idea why

    There are quite a few online TLA acronym dictionaries but we try to avoid TXT speech too much as it is confusing

    Maybe worth a sticky for the most common ones used here?
