wtf.el provides the ability to look up the definitions of popular conversational and computing acronyms.
Changes in Version 1.4: - Sync acronym list from NetBSD. - Add the "IDK" acronym. The canonical place to get wtf.el (and search-prop.el, as well) is http://mwolson.org/static/dist/elisp/. ;; wtf.el --- Look up conversational and computing acronyms ;; Copyright (C) 2005, 2006, 2007 Michael Olson ;; Author: Michael Olson (mwolson AT gnu DOT org) ;; Date: Tue 06-Feb-2007 ;; Version: 1.4 ;; This file is not part of GNU Emacs. ;; This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by ;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or ;; (at your option) any later version. ;; ;; This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, ;; but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of ;; MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

No copyright ;; notice was included, but the intent of the original author was to ;; put these terms in the public domain. This was deduced from ;; several emails sent to the authors of these files. Additionally, ;; the original data files use a specific syntax which does not allow ;; for a copyright notice. ;; ;; The original program that uses these files in NetBSD ;; (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/games/wtf/wtf) is in the ;; public domain. ;; * Acknowledgments: ;; ;; Thanks to Trent Buck for `emacs-wiki-wtf.el', which inspired the ;; creation of `wtf.el'. ;;; Code: (defvar wtf-alist '(;; $NetBSD: acronyms,v 1.164 2007/01/31 18:37:07 elad Exp $ ("AFAIC" .
