abbreviations

Oh I thought that was Watford Football Club

When I was working, we had a term for petty problems - WFC (who the f**k cares)!

So if husband says to me, when are you going to do such and such?
I can reply , CBA!
No that's not me, I could reply wait and see.

I've certainly expanded my knowledge with this thread!

But it may be that Cari CBA to add it to the page

Cari you missed one - CBA. Increasingly relevant I find.

Ah......thanks janerowena that's been niggling me for a while.

A friend of mine emails me and uses abbreviations. She calls her neighbour NDN. Next Door Neighbour. She also has NDNBO, so I thought it was the man on the other side of her with a bad personal problem. I only found out a couple of weeks ago that he's Next Door Neighbour But One.

Me too!
I think there should also be NSDH (not-so-dear husband) for days when I'm fostering murderous thoughts

Always think of Dear Bl***y Husband

Where the heck did he get 'Young lady' from?
Must remind him his eye test is overdue...... Didn't feel in the slightest bit flattered either!

I knew I was in trouble when DH addressed me as 'Young lady' yesterday!
The kitchen sink was blocked.......yes, guilty m'lud of washing fine gravel down the plug hole semi-accidentally when transferring plant from one potholder to another

For once I was wrong

No, I am the Better Half. We can't have two of us.

I thought DBH was dear better half!

Dearly Beloved Husband - my fault, sorry. It evolved as a fairly ironic answer to a certain tone he used when about to request something he knew I wouldn't like. 'Jane, my Darling Sweetheart...' 'Yes, Dearly Beloved...?'

Although mentally, frequently 'Dear Bloody Husband'.

Cari

Cari I see FYI is missing from the list.

One of Sheldon Cooper's favourites........For Your Information.
I have seen it used on here.

Or it could be deadly boring husband? Anyone?

That's dearly beloved husband, I think.

I've noticed DBH being used, absolutely no idea what that one means

Thanks all!
Not able to see the Acronym button so I searched it and came up with some amusing comments, eg
"The one I dislike is Darling blinking Husband, my old man is certainly not my Darling ...."
I find that one uncomfortable to use too - usually just say Husband or give his name.

Or you could click on the 'Acronyms' box at the top of this page, Tricia - it's a list of the most common ones.
