Acronym help needed
As a relative newbie to fodors.com Travel Talk, I am puzzled by the acronyms used in many of the postings. Some are easier than others to figure out: LOL, DH, ...
This question probably is asked often-- is there a listing of the acronyms and their meanings anywhere? If not, we need to make one! |
LOL=laughing out loud, laughing on line
LMAO=laughing my a$$ off dh=dear husband dd=dear daughter ds=dear son kwim=know what I mean jmo/imo/imho=just my opinion/in my opinion/in my humble opinion |
Not sure there's a decoder list anyplace but if you ask the ones that have you stumped, somebody can offer a translation...
|
and here I thought that d... meant darling.
silly me |
d can mean many things --- damn, darn, dimwitted, you get the picture -- in my case it is definitely DEAR, but I don't know your DH.
|
bj, LOL!
|
This is one good internet acronym dictionary:
http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/ There are others if you do a google search. |
My personal fave is:
So Happy It's Thursday! So far I've been having a "So Happy" day! :-" |
I was wondering about "ttt" - does it have something to do with topping the post?
|
yes.
ttt=To The Top |
Oh, Kal, so that's why!! =-O
|
I recently had to ask someone here if his constant companion known as LW was his Loving Wife or his Little Woman. I've already forgotten the answer I got.
Another one I see a lot is ROTFL, which is "rolling on the floor laughing". This may be lengthened with MAO . . ."my ass off". |
bj,
You have me ROFLMAO...my DH?? That would have to be my DW. Perhaps I should adjust my SA (silly ass) postings to be more masculine??? |
Patrick - I believe the answer you got was "lady wife". :) Isn't that degas that uses that?
|
Lady wife? Hmmn.
My former assistant's life partner was so nelly, he referred to him as the he wife. |
I'm glad I asked-- what a riot. Thanks for your responses.
Patrick, I think you used it once and I wondered what it meant. Now I, too, can ROFLMAO!! Any others? |
Oh, my gosh, I had no idea. Just checked the website recommended by jim_mi, and found some favorites:
L2BS- Licence To BS LOML- Light Of My Life LOWNBTD- Laid Off With Nothing Better To Do LTBF- Learn To Be Funny LTIC- Laughing Till I Cry LTIP- Laughing Till I Puke LTNS- Long Time No See LTR- Later LU4E&A- Love You For Ever And Always LYLY- Love You and Leave You And those are just some of the Ls... |
Kal- as always... BRB I'm ROTFLOL... TTYL!
|
Kal-I have just been corrected by my 15 yo....she says its ROTFLMFAO. (Figure that one out.)
|
I'll be it's "Rolling on the floor laughing my fat ass off"!
