[pct-l] YMMV

[Jackie McDonnell]

Yes, HYOH is an acronym for "Hike Your Own Hike", but it usually means some
variation of:

"I'm right, you're wrong, my way is the *only* way to do anything, and
you're irritating me so I'm ending this conversation."

Check out Mags' essay called "Hike *MY* hike, dammit"
