Hello everyone
What does HOA stand for?
Is there a glossary with terms and abbreviations I could refer to please?
Thank you 
Typically in the USA āHOAā stands for Homeowners Association. Meaning that the Homeowners typically have to pay a monthly or annual fee for āupkeepā or for community amenities. But in a different context iām sure HOA could stand for something else.
aha, thank you. that is really helpful. I was racking my brains to work it out.
take care
I hate abbreviations. I racked my brains to work out what WFH meant, which seemed to crop up during the pandemic! I initially thought it was a typo of WTF! 
I too hate abbreviations. When texting was a new thing I always presumed LOL to mean ālots of loveā.
When my friendās mum sadly passed away I sent the message āSorry for your loss, LOLā !
Yes, been there and done that 
My previous boss sent me a text with LOL and I thought he was being a bit forward!
About 10 years ago, I asked one of my employees what WTF meant: you shouldāve seen her faceā¦ but she told me. She was good that way, always very helpful 
Oh dearā¦yes, they can have double meanings and cultural differences too. Can be misleading.
I think LOL did originally mean ālots of loveā (at least in UK) Thatās how I used it for years until I started seeing it in a context that clearly meant ālaugh out loudā! My sister in Canada uses XOXO where I would always have used LOL. Maybe a UK vs Can/USA difference?
