    Ok,

    If anyone felt it would be more helpful, we could expand the 'tool tip' to include a definition in addition ti the acronym expansion...

    All of the above have been added. Found this list on wiki:

    Survivalists tend toward using military acronyms such as OPSEC and SOP, and terminology common among peak oil adherents and gun culture. They also use terms that are unique to their own lexicon—some key survivalist terms and acronyms include:
    • Alpha strategy: The practice of storing extra consumable items, as a hedge against inflation, and for use in barter and charity. Coined by John Pugsley.[52][53]
    • Ballistic wampum: Ammunition stored for barter purposes. Coined by Jeff Cooper.[52][54]
    • BOB: Bug-out bag.[52][55]
    • BOL: Bug-out location.[52][56]
    • BOV: Bug-out vehicle.[52][57]
    • Contrapreneur: Someone who foolishly invests in a declining market. Coined by James Wesley Rawles.[52]
    • Crunch: A general term for a major, long-term disaster.
    • Doomer: A peak oil adherent who believes in a Malthusian-scale societal collapse.[52][58]
    • EDC: Everyday carry. What one carries at all times in case disaster strikes while one is out and about. Also refers to the normal carrying of a pistol for self-defense, or (as a noun) the pistol which is carried.
    • EOTW: End of the world[59]
    • Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) - an extreme level of electromagnetic energy sufficient to burn out computer chips that may be caused by solar flares or by atmospheric nuclear explosions. Such an event would disable the Internet, telephones, computers, and devices that rely on computer controls, including automobiles, the electrical grid, and household appliances.
    • Goblin: A criminal miscreant, coined (in the survivalist context) by Jeff Cooper.[52][60]
    • Golden horde: The anticipated large mixed horde of refugees and looters that will pour out of the metropolitan regions WTSHTF. Coined (in the survivalist context) by James Wesley Rawles.[52][61]
    • G.O.O.D.: Get out of Dodge (city). Fleeing urban areas in the event of a disaster. Coined by James Wesley Rawles.[52][62]
    • G.O.O.D. kit: Get out of Dodge kit. Synonymous with bug-out bag (BOB).[52][63]
    • Pollyanna or Polly: Someone who is in denial about the disruption that might be caused by the advent of a large scale disaster.[52][64]
    • Prepper: A synonym for survivalist that came into common usage during the late 1990s. Used interchangeably with survivalist much as retreater was in the 1970s. Refers to one who is prepared or making preparations.[65]
    • SHTF: Shit hits the fan. A term used generically by survivalists to describe disaster situations.[52][58]
    • TEOTWAWKI: The end of the world as we know it. In use since the early 80's.[52][66]
    • WTSHTF: When the shit hits the fan. A term used generically by survivalists to describe disaster situations.[52][67][68]

    Hoplophobe - Coined by Jeff Cooper referring to those that fear bullet emitting devices, otherwise known as "guns."

    Much less frequently used, but relevant to group organization.
    WQSB - Watch Quarter and Station Bill. Specific assignments to member of the crew on board a ship during different operations.

    "Kool aide" drinkers. Those that simply follow the mob of sheep doing what the "shepherd" directs them to do. Devolved from the Jim Jones followers that simply committed mass suicide by drinking poison laced powdered beverage at his direction.
