Down With Acronyms

I put SWALK on the envelope of my 15 year old GS's birthday card. (He puts up with me)

Ooh, I like that one. Must remember that.

No reporting jings, you can call me what you like (actually your suggestion was pretty accurate) but ana was correct with delicate little flower.

? The details are up to you, lizpop. Just make up the rules as you go along ?

Of course, thatbags ? he's the late MrPopbottle from now on! If I get typer's cramp, I'll reduce it to MrPb! (It's nearly nine years since he went, so I can remember and smile ?) but should it be DMrPb...?

One can always refer to one's H in a different way if one wants, like calling him MrBags.

And, if I refer to my late husband, rather than late DH, does that imply that he wasn't dear to me? ?

Hi Gwoof, I don't use the acronyms but I'm not offended by them although I found them irritating when I first joined GransNet. Some are a bit misleading e.g. SiL (could be son or sister-in-law) and some people are D (DD, DM, DGC etc) but others are not valued as highly e.g. OH! If I fall out with my son, does he go from DS to S until we're back on speaking terms? ? Anyway, what I'm saying is, you soon get used to reading them and you don't have to use them yourself. All the lengthy ones are in the word bank on my kindle so I don't have to type out the whole thing.

Gwoof, I agree with you. Just can't be bothered wading through some posts. Perhaps we should start another 'net' of our own.

I too got confused with LOL some while ago much to the amusement of my family, but that is because back in the day LOL did mean lots of love, but then texting came along and it got changed to laugh out loud.

In fact I think it was one of the 'back of the envelope' initials. What about BURMA, sure that was one but can't remember it's exact meaning, think it was Be Undressed Ready ........something, something !

DNR, Jinglbellsfrock? That's worrying!

Oops! I think I just misinterptreted something!

Apologies to ag if I did!

Yes they are not new, SWALK was often used and we used to put some others on the back of envelopes i can only remember a couple of others ITALY and HOLLAND anyone use others

I've already told you what DLF stands for - are my posts invisible?

That was the DLF ......btw

Could mean anything, in fact, I won't put what just popped into my mind.

I keep saying that you wouldn't join your local wi or whatever and tell them they had it all wrong and had to change - or would you? I think that would be very rude and presumptuous!

Do not report Do not report!!!

(That Lara's got it in for me)

I have just come across this, thought it appropriate? And rather amusing?

Dear Little...AH!! Delicate Little Flower!

Ah, sarcasm, ag. Hey ho.

And there was me taking your comment as genuine. Hey ho again.

better not come up with anything too rude....

Give me time... I will work it out.

DLF. DLF....
