Dont ever feel like a question is too stupid to ask, because yes, like you suggested, I am sure someone out there did not know what it meant either.

There was a link somewhere to a page with all of the acronyms.

LOL there is a web page called acronym finder, I plugged in asw, here are the results.

wow I was way off also, I thought it meant "Alien Symbiotic Welt". When I don't know the meaning for an Acronym, I just make up my own.
