To sound out acronyms in my head?

[DialMforMother]

So when I'm reading posts here I read:

'Iyboo to hate my mil for this outrageous behaviour?',

'yahboo, I do this all the time',

'yanboo this woman was clearly trying to do her best'.

Which makes everybody on here seem like they speak an exotic but quite odd local dialect?

Or does everyone do this?

No, just you

har har at yarboo

yarboosucks etc etc

Lol, no I do it too.

I do that too

I don't but if someone spells one wrong I say it wrong in my head - psml pissing self my laughing. Weird

Oh I totally do that, am amazed others don't

Yanboo

OP Yanboo, but rationlist yarboo for writing LOL!

My first Yahboo!

Oh I do that with YABU (yahboo) and YANBU (yanboo). Doesn't everyone ?

Some are easier than others though. IIRC is a bugger to pronounce in my head, as is IYKWIM.

I do this too... and very occasionally I hear myself use them in conversation... with non-mumsnetter!

I do that too.

My DH & I first met on line and talked via chat for ages. Once he signed off saying 'the phone's ringing, brb'

Was only when we mentioned it in conversation some 6 months later I found out that 'brb' meant 'be right back' - I thought he was typing out the sound of the phone ringing, as that's how I read it in my head...

HNH -

If i'm ever talking to someone on chat I quite often refer to my DC as DD,DS or DH, DN. Always get ??? as a response

I have also had to stop myself during conversations saying "you are being unreasonable"

I do it too. I also wrote DD1 in a text to Dh earlier and got a capital letter 'who is dd1?' back.

Hobnob - I love it!!

DialM - I say DD DS, etc in my head, instead of Dear Daughter etc, but I read YABU as You are being unreasonable. and same with Yanbu.
sorry.

So mainly ianbu?

Phew. :)

yanboo.

I do this too.

IIRC = "eark"
PMSL = "pimsull"
IYSWIM = "eye-swim"

definitely eye-swim.

It's not just you!

Forgot:

AFAIK - a fake
IYKWIM = eye quim ( a medieval vagina made by apple presumably)
WRT = whirrt
IMHO = imm-hoe

And the twins:

Whomm

&

Whamm

(WOHM & WAHM)

and their sister Sam (SAHM)

I am quite, quite mad it seems.

Me too...

"...what does that one mean?"

Mm, precious? There's a list here if you're confused :o

yanboo

Lol at ' eye quim.

And by checking the list have found JFGI which I intend to use forthwith.
