Acronyms are a rampant virus these days. Everywhere you look they are sneaking their abbreviated butts into our lexicon. As recently as this morning I was rolling on the floor laughing my ass off when I worked out what ROFLMAO meant.

For all the convenience acronyms have to offer, some of the newer ones can be a touch unintelligible for those over 21, so for the benefit of all the old codgers that may come across my site, here is the definitive list of village cricket acronyms (VCA’s) courtesy of the Burnt Bail research team, (or as I’m now known….the BBRT).

Top Ten VCA’s

10. FISTAT - First Innings Stuffed Try Again Tomorrow
9. GDPWTS – Get Down Pub We’re Three Short
8. BISCEP - Box Is Stuffed Can’t face Extreme Pace

6. FOBADO- Fielding On Boundary Another Dropped One
5. YETTU – Your Effing Turn To Umpire
