Use of acronyms

Thanks Elergran found them. I hated the use of acronyms at work asi felt it excluded people not in the know
TBH I don't know CBA but maybe other GN do
BTW my OH is currently asleep
I am having a
FWIW this OG is getting the hang of these acronyms IYCWIM LOL

jings, that's what I do! I like,and regularly use, acronyms!!

Love that one Ana - it could come in very handy on some threads!

HWGA

Here we go again

NABL

Not another bloody link

(Feel free to substitute an F for the B! )

Oh yes. CTFD. V good!

kitty you just a number - DD1. DD2. etc etc.

I couldn't agree more LullyDully. We had a new head, a great head, who spoke in acronyms, the staff didn't have a clue what she was talking about! I spent a meeting thinking the SMT (Senior Management Team) was the School Meals Team, the only acronym we need to know is SAEWADW, stay active, eat well and drink wine, enjoy retirement LullyDully.

Spare a thought for those of us with large families - I can't be putting eldest daughter, middle daughter, youngest daughter, elder son, younger son etc etc - I'd be here all day!

Perhaps we should send in a list to HQ !

I would hazard a guess that many of us on here will prefer your interpretation Nelliem

Some help for the confused.

Oh Dear!.
I have only just noticed the list on the menu bar has an Acronyms box.

I always interpreted ( DBH - dear beloved husband)
As (dear bloody husband.) It must say something about me.

DiL's favourite is CTFD
Perhaps I'll start using it on some of the more political hysterical threads

My daughter talks in acronyms, which drives me mad, so I just can`t be bothered with them on here, also, as Indinana pointed out, how do we know the difference between son-in-law and sister-in-law? Anyway, most of the time, DH just doesn`t apply here!

And what you have to remember is that SiL can mean son-in-law or sister-in-law.

reikinana - of course if he isn't a 'DH' you can always call him 'OG"! - look it up in the acronyms ;)

Got it wrong then.

TLDR

I love LTDR!!!

GNHQ should add it to the acronyms list. I very rarely read posts more than about three lines long.

You'll be amazed how quickly you will get used to them auntiej. If you're a regular poster, or 'lurker' you'll learn them all in next to no time

Silly me! I hadn't realised there was an index to the acronyms! I don't think it is going to make it less annoying for me though - I will still have to stop and think what each one stands for!!!!

Ooh, I'm going to have to make a note of those two - TLDR and RTFT. Or yes, perhaps RTBT. Or perhaps WYMRTTP (would you mind reading the thread please)

(Although I might just modify it to RTBT for GN )

Yes! That's another one I'll have to remember, Icyalittle

I like RTFT (read the thread). Very often needed on GN when something has already been explained / answered.
