Human Papilloma Virus… i suppose if it doesn’t stand for anything else that philo has in mind!

Re: Are you a nerd?

^ Yep, I think it was Human Papilloma Virus - I guess spelling doesn’t matter.

I can’t figure out what CN is either

Re: Are you a nerd?

does DASH have something to do with the DASH diet?

canadiandesigirl · July 28, 2011, 4:38pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

I was wondering the same thing? I don't know any of the ones Safoora posted :(

Safoora · July 28, 2011, 5:02pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

^yes you guys-good job, what does it stand for though?!

blueangel · July 28, 2011, 5:11pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

DASH- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension …i think.

PPROM- Premature Prelabour Rupture Of Membranes

FROM- Frantic rupture of membranes

no idea about APECED…sounds like a spacecraft to me

Re: Are you a nerd?

The doctor got em…I haven’t heard of any of those except DASH.

Safoora · July 28, 2011, 6:15pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

good job with DASH, you almost got PPROM too- it’s premature prolonged rupture of membranes. LOL at frantic rupture- that’s hilarious!

So two left:

APECED
FROM

Re: Are you a nerd?

can you guys post computer science related terms and abbreviation

Sohaib · July 28, 2011, 6:37pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

These are all medical related abbreviations. and all science is not medical.

okay changing the direction of the abbreviations.

1- NASA (just to get you started)

STA · July 28, 2011, 6:39pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

national aeronautics and space administration

canadiandesigirl · July 28, 2011, 7:01pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

Saby, you are right. I was thinking we can do all different categories. In the future we should mention the category and post acronyms/abbreviations from other fields. Computer and IT should be in C&IT though no?

Okay, at the moment unanswered ones are by Safoora: APECED and FROM.

STA - please go ahead a post some from another category if you would like. Please mention the category.

STA · July 28, 2011, 7:02pm

Sohaib · July 28, 2011, 7:13pm

Re: Are you a nerd?

BarbieCue · July 28, 2011, 7:24pm
