Down With Acronyms

You can do what you like even start your own blessed website where you ban the use of D! Then, after 3/4 years, we can come along and tell you that you've got it all wrong!

No! It's a long held tradition. The prefix stays.

I absolutely agree with Gwoof and if we can just drop the 'D' for Darling which is totally unnecessary, the conversations would flow and I would easily understand who is who and I am surprised and think that is obvious to anybody - who on earth refers to their Darling Daughter in Law and Darling Granddaughter in real life - who thought this up?? Let's get real!

Just worked CBA out. Success. !!

Totally agree but I think it's because many don't know how to spell correctly nowadays.

Crossing out not intended.

Too Long, didn't read -- You are being unreasonable Simples

I thought it was ' don't be mardy!' And I still don't know what Sudomin meant.

D'you think it will catch on?

No, neither do I.

It meant 'don't be mean' (to the OP)

I made mine up.

Ttfn, Gwoof (That's a very old one. My father used it, and my grandfather before him. Means "Ta-ta for now")

Thanks Elegran. I now realise that my complaint is a very common one and I apologise for bringing it up again.
I mean: take a look a Tl;dr from SueDonim. I am not going TBA to look that up.

I couldn't make out any of the words of your song, Gwoof A bit like trying to work out what obscure acronyms mean!

I agree with you about overuse and obscure ones. The ones are here are mostly common-or-garden ones though. Stick with it and soon you won't even notice them, you'll be so busy wondering what the ones without acronyms are going on about!

Tl;dr. YABU.

A few on here I don't know. But that's ok.

dbm

lmao

yes lol

Are the people who start all these acronym threads just attention seeking?

Thanks all!
I love your posts and I hate over use of acronyms especially obscure ones.
Here is a little song for you:

Haha! Love the "Oh, stop moaning!" approach. Go GNers!

Gwoof looks like an acronym to me, a hybrid one for Granny Woof or something.

I've just noticed that this is under the AIBU banner - so you are already using an acronym. Not that painful, was it?

FGS, YABU, CBA, TTFN
