Considering it can help a lot of people, I don't make the answer by PM (personnal message  ;) ) but here for every body. Please remove if it is off topic.

Pas de bol = pas de chance = no chance / no luck

@ zebulon

IAW: in accordance with
IRW: in reference with
BDU: battle dress uniform
IMHO:in my honest opinion

But now using no abbreviations anymore this is TMI (too much information).

Here is my contribution to this topic. I have just scanned all my posts on this forum on my abbreviations:

BTW : By the way
OMG : Oh my Gosh! (for Atheists : Oh my God!)
TMO : To my opinion
ICE : In case of Emergency
i.e.  : Id Est (latin for c'est a)
CU : See You
WTF : What the F*ck!
LOL : laughing out loud  ;D

Apart from these I've used some technical abbreviations in specific topics:

TA2 : Continental Trail Attack 2
PR3 : Michelin Pilot Road3
If you read that topic completely these sort of abbreviations will not be a real problem, I think.


regards,
JOs
