I've always thought the H stood for humble not honest. When not abreviated it's mostly the former that is used.

BRB - Be Right Back
ASL - Age, Sex, Location (commonly used in chatrooms).
AFAIR - AFAIK less used brother. The R stands for remember/recall

no, it's RED the f-ing manual if this was a red faction forum.

aside from that: yes I know, but it's more accurate to these forums if it's read the FRED manual instead...
