do you know all the abbreviations of the forums you frequant?

[Dancing Fire]

do you get confused?

cuz different forums have different meaning with the same abbreviations.

 

[MonkeyPie]

No, and I hate abbreviations. I don''t mind the ones that stay the same everywhere - DH, FH, etc - but I hate the ones that crop up stemming from those. YMMV I can never remember, and some others...mostly I just wish people could take a few extra seconds to type the whole dang word.

Try visiting Bride''s World Wide on PS. You''ve never seen so many BM''s in one place!!

Is there a place where these abbreviations are defined for us complete word types? I am often at a total loss on some of them. Thanks

when i''m on a koi forum BS doesn''t mean Brilliancescope

i ask a Q about water condition and a member replied " add 1 lb of BS to every 2000 gal of water" i was thinking add "bull s**t" to my water?

where would i get bull s**t ?

later on i found out that BS = BAKING SODA

 

[Linda W]

ha ha ha ha ha, leave it to you DF, to give me my daily laugh!!!!

 

[MonkeyPie]

Ahahahaha DH! Omg, I could just see you at the store. "Excuse me sir, I''m looking for bullsh*t."

 

[aprilcait]

Dancing Fire, I did the same thing when I was first on Pricescope and read "STD" and "BM" on Pricescope. Once in a while when I''m reading my brain has a little "PS to everyday speech" translation glitch and I''ll end up a tad confused for a moment. Heehee!

 

[jewelerman]

[Dancing Fire]

When I first saw STD, I thought-- "What the HEY??"

What is this ROLFMAO? It's not on the thread Skippy posted. Sometimes, I see longer incarnations of this.

I don't know these code words. hmmmm

You know, I never heard of a Push Present, until I joined PS!!! Does that mean even though my daughter is almost 36, I can get one now??? Tee hee.
