Is there a place where we can print off what all the abbreviations mean? example; TNLN I get as took nothing, left nothing.... but then we see other letters after it... HELP!!!!

We have been having such a blast doing Geocaching with all our kids, they keep trying to figure it all out. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

In the Read First! Geocaching Frequently Asked Questions thread (which is sticky posted at the top) is a post by Keystone Approver that not only shows the location for the official Glossary, but it references my glossary, and Prime Suspects more up-to-date Glossary. It even includes a few gems:

What's a "muggle?"

A non-geocacher who accidentally finds a cache or is in the area when you're searching for a cache.

 

What is "swag?"

Some say this is short for "Stuff We All Get." Swag means the trade items that we swap at geocaches and carry in our backpacks.

 

What does "TPTB" mean?

This is short for "The Powers That Be," meaning Jeremy and the other people who run Geocaching.com.

 

What do "TNLN," "TNLNSL," and "TFTC" mean in the online cache logs?

"Took Nothing, Left Nothing," "Took Nothing, Left Nothing, Signed Log," and "Thanks for the Cache."

 

What does "YAPIDKA" mean?

Yet Another Park I Didn't Know About.
