What do all the acronyms mean?

[+KMTAF]

I know this is a very old forum, and replies are unlikely. But I can't seem to find what "IMO" means. If anybody knows what this means, please let me know, and thank you.

IMHO - In My Humble Opinion, In my Honest Opinion

IME - In My Experience

Not sure if we’re doing international acronyms here, but “mplc” really confused me when I looked at caches in France... it means “merci pour la cache” so the equivalent of TFTC... the more ya know!

Very useful thankyou, just got started have a few local caches under out belts. Knowing the acronyms really helps and makes us feel a part of the group.

Thx to all 👍👍

What about GAM? Came across that one a couple times and I can't quite figure it out...  something something Magnetic, maybe?

You also might want to check out the Groundspeak glossary or the GeoLex web page.

This is what I was looking for, but seems hard to find. There's no FAQ page that I found that points to the glossary.

I agree, it never used to be...

It's found in the Help Center found under "Log a Geocache" in "For the new Geocacher".

It's at the end, but with just a "TFTC" linked-to in a tip at the bottom...

I found one here: https://coord.info/GCAG6TQ (here's another one)

The cache title includes "TBIES" and the description starts with the phrase "Tallest Building in each State".

 

That must be what it is, but you could ask the Cache Owner if you need more info.

Sounds like a good series to make in other countries, maybe I'll give it a try in my province in Canada.

This is a tongue-in-check one that has popped up locally:

MWIGH: More when I get home.

 

Its mainly used for First to Finds, to alert that it has been found, but it might be a bit before the finder writes a real log.

Good morning, does PBL mean anything to anyone? It’s part of a cache name that I couldn’t find near Rapid City, SD.

[+Smitherington]

Please Bring Lunch?  May mean a long hike.

Maybe this:  https://projectbloggedlearning.wordpress.com/

 

If you mean this cache, it was hidden by cachers with the cacher name "PBL".  If the cache is named after cachers who placed it, the mystery is solv-ed!
