Oh shucks, I thought "AFAIK" was an acronym we teenagers made popular on 
our cell phones !  Tho now of course it's become a familiar abbreviation 
(with an honorable history on this very list), along the lines of TBC ("to 
be continued"), FWIT ("for what it's worth")  and various others that 
don't come to mind at this moment.

However, as far as "pig latin" is concerned, I beg to inform you that it's 
the other way around:  So called "pig latin" is based on the ancient 
language of "Ixnay," translated from the pre-Columbian relics looted by 
Vasco deGama.
