What is EUC??? - comes up on the BBBswap yahoogroup.

Is it something related to EC (excellent condition)?

I didn't have the cheat sheet when I first started on the boards and it took me forever to figure out FWIW and IYKWIM!!! Really, I think it was like months before I caught on. =)

...unless with your mother, then I found she probably means "Lots of Love."
