Today’s Urban Vocabulary Lesson: YMMV

FYI, early this morning I was perusing the all-knowing Lifehacker and noticed some commenters tacking YMMV onto the end of their sentences.  I Googled it and lo and behold the Urban Dictionary came up as the first entry, defining YMMV as an acronym for “Your Mileage May Vary.”  From what I can gather it is used to communicate the idea that while I have experienced something, as an individual in your own context you may have a different perspective or experience of the same thing.  Or, I have achieved unique results through tweaking or experimenting but you may not be able to come up with the same results.
