Talking Muchas Gracias

Aspenhall,

Many thanks for this acronym thread. I have been communicating electronically since the early 90's and never knew what LOL stood for and now I do.

This thread has been a hoot and I am LOL. There, first time I've ever used it.

Tim

You're all VERY welcome

I thought, ok I am a reasonably intelligent person....but it took me 3 months on these boards just to figure out the first ones!
And with all the confusion lately, I just said WTH (what the heck!)

Here are some more

THX ....means Thanks
TY.......means Thank You
YW ....means You're Welcome
CW....means Case Worker
*grins* means the person is grinning at you
*hugs* means the person is hugging you

and really anything inbetween 2 asterisks means that person is doing an action *looks to see if anyone is laughing* *blushes*

DOB....means Date Of Birth

The only real reason for any of these abbrev.'s is because we spend so much DANG time on this forum posting msg's (messages) that the less typing we gotta do....the BETTER!

Lets keep it at the TOP of the list!!!

TY everybody for your support!

*group hug*

I almost forgot...

SIL , BIL, MIL, FIL.........are the In-Laws....Sister in Law etc....

and

TTC means Trying to Concieve
PG means Pregnant
MC means Miscarriage
PCOS means Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome
IVF means In Vitro Fertilization
IUI means Intra Uterine Insemination


By the way, there are some abbreviations that are used so much for so long that the actual meaning is forgotten by some and actually unknown by the younger generation!!!

IE, ATM, VCR, CD, DSL, to name a few!

few more

Even though we dont use these on this forum... someone may want to know.

BRB = Be right back
ROFLOL IPMP = Rolled On The Floor Laughing Out Loud I Peed My Pants

GGP = Gotta Go Pee

So... BRB GGP = Be Right Back Gotta Go Pee

These are used mostly for instant messages... but sometimes, some of these posts make me about PMP ( Pee My Pants) from LOL!!

HA
