I always thought LGTM meant "Let's Get This Money!" and not "Looks Good To Me!" but I suppose either interpretation works in most cases.

I thought it was "Let's Get This Merged" and commented it on my own PR once.

  It's an ambiguous acronym. I've used it both ways.

That doesn't seem ambiguous to me.

  Well, I assume you wouldn't submit a PR if it didn't look good to you, so the acronym is appropriate...

    you have no idea (1) what some people do when some external force tires to make them contribute to opensource ... 1: ok, you probably do know as most people on HN probably do know

  I thought it meant "Let's Get This Merge" like it was a play on "let's get this bread". I know it stands for "Looks Good To Me" now but I still prefer my reading :)

I once briefly thought it was "Let's GoToMeeting" -- like they want to schedule a call over it.
