"Choose the dictionary option and 26 dictionaries beckon, beginning with Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, where you can't begin to concentrate on the definition of "the" because a team of animated basketball players is begging you to shoot hoops. Scroll down to the end of the dictionary list and you will find the site STANDS4. Did you know that "T.H.E." stands for "three hours extra" and "thermometer"?"

"You can try a Web search for "what does [random abbreviation] mean?" But you may find it easier to consult a specialized dictionary site. Urban Dictionary is a decent resource, providing both explanations and context for these bits of jargon. Or try Abbreviations.com, which will also list technical terms matching a given sequence of capital letters."

To look in on this powerful resource, which contains literally thousands of entries and is expanded daily, visit the site at STANDS4.com, where an attractively simple introductory page..."

"Just the other day, I ran into yet another pesky acronym. Since it was in a trade magazine, the editors must have believed, I suppose, that all readers would be savvy enough to know what it meant. Since I wasn't among that elite group, however, I went to STANDS4.com — a great source for acronyms and abbreviations — to find out. There are several categories here from which to choose, including computers, Internet, business and medical. Or, you can browse alphabetically. The site (STANDS4.com) also includes a list of the most popular inquiries. Recently, the most sought-after, with 3,558 queries, was FUBAR (which, I now know, stands for "fouled up beyond all recognition.")"

"The widespread use of acronyms generally is a relatively modern phenomenon, according to Yigal Ben Efraim, founder and CEO of Abbreviations.com, a web site about abbreviations. It began in the 19th century thanks to growing literacy rates, but usage skyrocketed as the 20th century progressed. "The rise in literacy, media, science and technology brought an enormous amount of new terms and definitions, which naturally required a shorthand form to ease their daily usage," says Ben Efraim."

He did, however, invite musicians to take advantage of the entire services suite to “help them compose better work.” Rhymes.net can be utilized for more straightforward, generic rhyming.

The story behind the Happy Days theme song

“The mention of Haas' past as a purveyor of psychedelic garage rock is important because he went on to sing backing vocals for Pink Floyd during their 1980-81 "The Wall Tour," per Lyrics.com. That's a huge jump from backing up Donny and Marie Osmond just one year prior, but it also proves that the man was a versatile performer who, like most session singers, was far from being a household name.”

“As of this writing, we have been unable to locate the original source of the quote — but we found no evidence that it was said by Monroe. One source claimed in 2013 it was a line of dialogue from the 1953 noir film “Niagara,” though we searched the screenplay at Scripts.com but didn’t find any such dialogue there. We also viewed the portion of the movie Monroe is in, but Monroe’s character Rose Loomis never makes the remark.”

“First, we should define this term correctly. According to some English dictionaries such as the Free Dictionary by Farlex, dictionary.com and Definitions.net, the definition of "Chinaman" reads "Archaic or derogatory - a native or inhabitant of China." These references note that the term is "usually offensive," and that "although the term has no negative connotations in older dictionaries, and the usage of such parallel compound terms as Englishman, Frenchman and Irishman remain unobjectionable, the term Chinaman is noted as offensive by modern dictionaries."”

“It’s not hard to fathom why universities – and the polytechnics and art schools that pre-dated them – have been such fertile ground for bands. But here’s a thing. Although there’s a lengthy list of bands that formed at university, songs about university are in relatively short supply. A quick, thoroughly scientific search of Lyrics.com reveals there are almost as many songs about unicorns.”
