 The term YAFM is often used interchangeably with the similar terms '''YAFMC''' ('''Yet Another Funny Message Combination'''), '''YASM''' ('''Yet Another Silly Message'''), and '''YAFP''' ('''Yet Another Funny Prompt'''). The funny message combination refers to a sequence of messages that is funny. Such sequences are often paused with the ''--More--'' prompt. Funny prompt is a prompt where the available inventory letters together form a word or another odd combination.
