When one is new to me I look it up on www.UrbanDictionary.com. Since it's crowd sourced, it's always up to date with slang and acronyms.

I'd be lost in boomer land if it wasn't for Urban Dictionary.

Same here. It's been widely used for decades, so I was surprised how many on this thread don't know it or (think they haven't previously) come across it.

NIMBY is a fairly common acronym. Yes, I've used it. Never heard of YIMBY.

PORSCHE is very common too. Most think it's a car company named after founder, Ferdinand Porsche but it's really an acronym:
Proof Of Rich Spoiled Children Having Everything

All great responses!

lol! Heard of NIMBY, but not YIMBY. FWIW and AFAIK, "WTF" which, IIRC, stands for "wasn't that fun" seems popular. And so does AF, as in she was mad AF. Not sure what it stands for IRL.

YMMV
