FUW: Frequently Used Words (updated 20080203)

In Wake island, you might see some acronyms, or abbreviated words. Some are obvious and some aren't, it might depend on how much time you have spent on the evil internet. One clear thing is that not knowing those words doesn't make your "stay" in Wake comfortable. Therefore I give you ideas of the meanings.

1) When you bombed a tank with your plane after an air reinforcement request from a fellow on the ground, you might get a word of his appreciation like ty, or thx. Yes, you can easily figure out what those two words mean. But I'd show the answer to those who still don't have any idea.

ty: Talos on Your back!
thx: Terminated by Hanging on Xmas
(Frequently seen on Advent)

So easy that you might have skipped the explanation. But that's what smarties always do, now you know you gotta beware when you see those words!
