it could be me.... but those are hardly logical abbreviations, nor are they commonly used. I would never have guessed either one and I would definitely prefer that people, if they must use abbreviations, make sure they're very obvious, insteda of leaving us guessing.
So start using your dictionary boba, and make some effort here.

I have to admit to being a litte perplexed at some of boba's abbreviations too.
