YANBU

I have been posting here for a couple of months and have been the OP once or twice. What I cannot get over is the quantity of lovely people there are that are willing to put their time and effort into other peoples problems and the quality of the replies! Amazing!!!

But however hard I try I am never ever going to be fluent in Yanbu - its a complete new language to me and so I find myself reading the thread – which often just becomes a guess the acronym game…. If it sounds interesting enough and I can’t work it out I cave and look it up, so I now know that Yanbu is not actually the name of a new language!!! Grin It means you are not being unreasonable….

Do love this site though..... And to all of you out there, thanks for being there!

It took me a while to realise Biscuit is a biscuit not an arsehole - as in "you're being an arse Biscuit "

Don't know if you've found the acronyms list yet www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms?

It's not as easy to find these days as it was a few years ago. I recall when I first joined that, easy as the list was to find back then, I actually printed it out for easy reference!

Sneaky, actually most of the time the Biscuit is used as in "you're being an arse"!!

Thanks CeeCee, I actually found the list earlier today!

Sneaky, that was funny!!!

Although, historically, it was introduced as a 'no comment' emoji after Gordon Brown had not answered the question "what is your favourite biscuit".
