While you could argue WTH could stand for anything with those letters in that order, it has ONE universally known and defined meaning. A few months ago we had a cyberbully come on just to tell a user going through a hard time to KYS (kill yourself) all over the place here, well until we banned them. They said KYS stood for kiss your socks or something, but the intent was obviously not that. While this is a much more extreme example, that's why we don't allow acronyms that break rules when using thier most universally known meaning.

Well, I wouldn't go around trying to say that "wtf" means "what the farts". But I legitimately thought that "wth" means "what the heck" just as often as it means "what the hell" or that it could be ambiguous.
