Farmer Field School
Fast File System
Fast Filing System (BSD, Unix)
Fast Full Search (algorithm)
Federal Financial System
Federal Financial System (a software product)

Flexible Fertigungs-Systeme (Germany)
Florida Folklore Society
For Freak's Sake (polite form)

A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.

Pretty much: An identifier formed from some of the letters (often
the initials) of a phrase and used as an abbreviation.

Oh...I caught on ;p

But some people might not know.

LOL, what I've always wondered is, why use the ^_^ when the Vbulletin forum has proper smilies. Just, WHY?! Since this "smiley" captures no emotions known to mankind other than somebody with an extremely straight mouth, it would have to be somebody about as interesting as John Major who keeps having their lip abnormally straight...
