Gransnet abbreviations

I used it yesterday (without telling anyone to do so). It’s common all over the internet, and the F can stand for full, flipping, flaming, frigging, as well as Baggs’ version.

Baggs thanks on both counts - I will get the title typo corrected right away.
But as for 'read the fucking thread' - words fail me. (is this an official Gransnet expression? I find it offensive)

There are other abbreviations I find confusing, even official ones - DSiL = dear sister in law OR dear son in law.
Why not just type it out then everyone knows what you're talking about?

I actually think telling people to read the whole thread is bossy and unnecessary, as if one weren't allowed to respond directly to the OP or any other single post on the thread.

I have got the impression over the years that people who feel their posts have been "ignored" are the most likely to make the, ahem, request of RTFT. What they don't seem to realise is that of course other posters will say the same as they have and that it's perfectly legitimate for there to be numerous repetitions of the same points. That's just the nature of this kind of social media.

JaneJudge, your interpretation is politer than mine! 😂

I have never used the RTFT acronym, I hasten to add!!

I suspect it gravitated over here from Mumsnet like much else.

Could you perhaps ask HQ to correct your thread title to Gransnet?

Otherwise we'll get a lot more confused grans 😂

Oh wait! I just worked it out: Read The Fucking Thread

Hope that helps

No idea. What context was it in?
