CTR and the 6 B's sound simple enough. However, it takes a lot of coordination: BYC, PEC, plus all the meetings of the GAs at HQ in SLC, UT.
Today LDS YM/YW have CES and EFY along with the mainstays of FHE, the BoM, the D&C, the KJV, and JST. But, why did the MIA go MIA, only to become YM/YW? It's like MIA was just a NCMO and YM/YW was on MST.
Also, why is it that when RMs are not talking about the MTC or their stats, they talk about when they were APs, ZLs, or even DLs? Don't RMs remember teaching that it doesn't matter if you go to the Y, shop at the DI, are in EQ/HP or RS, or joined the GOP. It doesn't even matter if people constantly tell you XYZPDQ. "F!"

I love Discovery Network show Man versus Wild. I rarely get to watch it
though. However, am really glad that my wife turned on the DVR for this one.

Once acronyms are combined with cute vinyl lettering, then we will all be doomed!

I like laughing at myself. this blog is fun.
This is HILARIOUS!! I LOVE IT!!
How will you explain such comments at your next PPI?
I've been reading several of your posts for the last 40 minutes. I have enjoyed everyone of them! There isn't one I haven't found hysterical and so true!
Great job on your blog!
and the "f" stands for flip or fetch. Im glad I know this, because I know the acronyms
any possibility of translating for us not-Mormons? I know it would lose the humor in translation but still, would love to hear what all that means!
I am not Mormon but an totally fascinated by the culture.
This is too funny - though you forgot my personal favorite - "Ydaho".
Amanda, check out http://www.ldsmusicworld.com/artists/brad_thompson.html for the acronym "answers".

Blah. I should check your blog more often, I wanted to do exactly what you did on my blog choices yesterday. I could have just linked to your fabulous example. Oh well.
I love it that I understand the whole post...acronyms are a part of LDS/Mormon life !
Glad "If Looks Could Quill" gave a link for Amanda...I have had to translate for many of my non-member friends and family over the years and they are amazed...until I joined the church, I thought the government and military had the market cornered on acronyms !!!
LOVE your blog !
On a related note, and perhaps a suggestion for a future blog posting, why do Mormons like including their middle initial in their names, or their first initial if they go by their middle names? Better yet, why do some like to initialize the first name and go by the middle name when their middle name is almost laughable? For instance, when you meet someone named F. Delbert Johnson, it makes you wonder what the F stands for if they prefer to go by Delbert? Finding out the F stands for Frank only makes them seem even more weird.
I am totally with Steve on this one. Surely such a subject deserves a blog entry of its own.
Steve and Geary:
I wrote a post a while back that at least partially addresses your very valid request:
