Answer 5

usually means estimated time of arrival

HOWEVER.... on a message board or forum it means 'Edited to add'

some other common ones that I use :-)

IIRC - if I recall correctly

IMO (IMHO) - in my (humble) Opinion

STFU - Shut the **** up

DIAF - Die in a fire

there are loads of them... go to wiki and look up acronyms message boards

ETA - it would probably be used like this :-)
