Have you stopped LOL. I'm talking about the new insurance scam and I'm thinking about it a lot when I'm driving, as I do most days.
I'm a very polite driver and I did/do flash a lot; but since this scam has been exposed I think twice before I 'flash'.

Nonu's post of 18.00 quite clearly says it means I see what you mean! Why swear black is white?

Nonu are you having a 'senior moment'? grin

IYSWIM stands for:

IF YOU see what I mean, not as you keep saying:

I see what you mean.

Two different meanings.

I think I'm right confused or maybe I'm having a senior grin

If You See What I Mean = IYSWI from the first letters of each word
I See What You Mean = ISWYM from the first letters of each word

Simples

Elegran Thu 22-Aug-13 11:23:45

Having a fat finger day! I meant to type

If You See What I Mean = IYSWIM from the first letters of each word
I See What You Mean = ISWYM from the first letters of each word

Still simples.

Nonu Thu 22-Aug-13 11:25:16

I Don"t have Senior moments ,

I googled it & that is what it said .

Wan smile

Nonu Thu 22-Aug-13 11:28:12

Although of course ^ I AM ^ a Senior !!

happy smile to be able to say that !!

Elegran Thu 22-Aug-13 11:33:17

Wherever you googled it from must have had a senior moment, then nonu.
The first letters of I See What You Mean are not IYSWIM

But The first letters of If You See What I Mean are.

Oh, give it a rest! I can see the point of these text-speak abbreviations if you have a character limit, on Gransnet we don't.

Elegran Thu 22-Aug-13 12:19:49

Or are a slow typer?
