Agrrrrrrrrrrr, what does SWMBO mean

OK, I've had it. Just about every post I read has some acronym used. I have
seen SWMBO just one too many times and had to ask. Is there a list
somewhere?

You have to give the secret handshake before we divulge that information.

Just use a good search engine. For example, typing "SWMBO" into google.com
gets you the definition on any of the first few results.

You'll probably get thousands of replies, but it's She Who Must Be
Obeyed--AKA the better half--AKA the wife. And before you ask, "the
borg" is Big Orange Retail Giant, AKA Home Depot.

he stands on a basis of some half-square foot, has to straddle out
his legs lest the very winds supplant him. Nevertheless, he can
use tools, can devise tools: with these the granite mountain melts
into light dust before him: seas are his smooth highway, winds and
fire his unwearying steeds. Nowhere do you find him without tools.
Without tools he is nothing: with tools he is all."

I know that's what it means but I feel Blue-Orange Retail Giant is more
fitting.
