Commenting on Jesse's post, Dave abbreviated "For What It's Worth" to FWIW. That set my (mostly idle) mind racing. So here is a list of common phrasal abbreviations. Can you figure them out (presented in no order of difficulty)?
BTW (there I did it myself) these are phrases incomplete in themselves. In other words, they are NOT proverbs.
Get cracking. Good Luck!
1. HST
2. OUAT
3. ISOT
4. IIMO... (this is followed by a question)
5. ITNEFY
6. TWW (Hint: sentence beginner when referencing the past)
7. OTW
8. WTFO
9. WOTS
10. FTLT
PS The headline is "Over-the-top you say"!!
