OMG! Pregnancy acronyms!

I have always enjoyed acronyms. I especially enjoy watching my husband play games online, where he can have entire conversations using only acronyms. I decided that pregnancy needed it's own specialized set of acronyms, so with husband's help I have modified some of the more popular everyday and gaming acronyms for my currently rounded state.

OMG!
Traditional meaning: Oh my god!
Pregnancy meaning: Oh my gut! (to be used when baby is kicking very hard).

WTF?
Traditional meaning: What the f*ck?
Pregnancy meaning: Where's the fries? (to be used at the McDonald's drive through).

AFK
Traditional meaning: Away from Keyboard (to be used when gamer has to step away momentarily)
Pregnancy meaning: Ask for ketchup (also to be used at the drive through)

LOL
Traditional meaning: Lots of laughs
Pregnancy meaning: Lots of love (what the husband gets when he responds correctly to WTF)

Traditional meaning: Be right back
Pregnancy meaning: Bathroom break (will be used often)

SOS
Traditional meaning: Save our Ship
Pregnancy meaning: Sleep on Side (a necessity as you get bigger)

Traditional meaning: Son of a..well, you know
Pregnancy meaning: Stuck on back (what will happen if you do not SOS)

Traditional meaning: For the win (used by gamers in virtual battle)
Pregnancy meaning: For the Wife (used in our house long before baby)

BYOB
Traditional meaning: Bring your own beer/beverage
Pregnancy meaning: Bring your own bib (always have a bib, even if another mommy provides snacks)

Traditional meaning: Best Friends Forever
Pregnancy meaning: Boy first! Fantastic! (our reaction to the news)

Traditional meaning: Looking for team (used by gamers seeking buddies to play with)
Pregnancy meaning: Looking for toes (by seven months, the belly blocks all views)

Traditional meaning: Rolling on the floor laughing
Pregnancy meaning: Running out to find longings(what the husband does at all hours of the night to appease crazy pregnancy cravings)

Pregnancy meaning: Oh, my waist! (used to describe what was formerly a midsection)
