Default Odd questions

I lurk regularily and post infrequently on this board. And every now and then I see a post and I have no idea what the hell is said because its all acronyms. eg. ### ?? I'm no internet newbie or guru, but what the hell is that acronym??

"Fata" - Got that one, "###" - No idea.

I downloaded an extension on Firefox called Answers.com. I right click over the word, initials or a highlighted phrase and click answers and a quick answer comes up in a new tab.
