Or are a slow typer?

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.

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.

Although of course ^ I AM ^ a Senior !!

happy to be able to say that !!

I Don"t have Senior moments ,

I googled it & that is what it said .

Wan

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.

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

Nonu are you having a 'senior moment'?

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 or maybe I'm having a senior

Thank you , Gracemum .

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

That is interesting Envious , I Have seen people "flash and then seen a parked police vehicle .
Hate to admit have done it myself [naughty] , well that won"t be happening again , no sir !

Me neither !

Nonu ICBA

"fraid you are wrong it is what I wrote

IYSWIM .

IYSWIM --text speak for
I see what you mean !

No Nonu that is what you said!!!

That's what I told her Grannyactivist !!

Thanks grannyactivist

IYSWIM = If You See What I Mean.

Criminals flash at someone making them think they are giving way and then drive into them. Then claim lots of damages.
Where I come from they flash to let you know there are animals on the road.

Thanks ANA I now understand!

In America people flash their headlights to worn you of police speed traps or if they happen to see a police car parked.I have heard of a person getting detained for doing it.

I don't understand either.

Would someone please explain what the hell this is all about?
Some idea what Petra means about the "new insurance scam" would help.

So glad it tickled you Greatnan !!
