While in practice online I notice quite a few people type "PO" as a
comment.  What does it mean??  "just got POle"?  "Pissed Off"?
"Prayer Only thing that can save this spin"??  

Thanks!!

PO means Pit Out, and is used to indicate when someone is coming out of the
pits and onto the racing line.

It is a normal online racing courteous message meaning you are about
to exit pits and join the track, that way if someone is on a hotlap
and coming toward the pits they will know to lookout for you.

Note: also after typing "PO" or "Pit Out" it is a good idea to stay
offline until you are up to speed on the track as well as letting
any faster drivers by you until you have your tires up to temperature
and can start putting down some hotlaps.

Some other common GPL online phrases you may see typed by people
while driving:

k - ok
s - sorry
t - thanks
np - noproblem

Ahhhh OK.  I've always been scared of pulling out right into someone's
path...

Thanks!
