What does WOT stand for?

Just curious, I've seen this in several posts and wondered what it meant.

WOT = wide open throttle

Technically, this doesn't really apply to diesels since they don't have throttle plates, but we all understand what it means - pedal to the metal!

In the old days, the acronym for WOT was WFO.
