What You See Is Not Always What You Get. An acronym especially appropriate to the Internet when you're trying to print something from a webpage and it doesn't come out the way you want it to.
I tried to printmy friend's webpage, but all I got was a banner farm. WYSINAWYG!
A reminder that although you may believe that you have communicated your message clearly, how it appears to others may not, in reality, be the same as it appears to you.
Related to 'WYSIWYG' ('What You See Is What You Get') which was common in desktop publishing applications of yore. But when the Internet (and, later, dumbphones) arrived, browser and platform differences meant that all too often what you were seeing was most decidedly not what others were seeing.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
