For wishing Mum's Net would decode the abbreviations?

I wish Mum's net would give us a decoder for the abbreviations used on this site.

As a newbie I had to ask what DS, DH etc. met so I've got those now but there are loads I just can't work out so please Mum's net, can you let us know what the abbreviations that are commonly used mean?

Or could Mum's Net Posters use this thread to tell us which ones they know and what they stand for?

Cheers.

Before the pedants tell me. I know I've just tried out bold and got it wrong.

Please please please don't tell me. I'm already self flagellating over getting the name of the site wrong. I couldn't bear any more pain. Grin

Yes, LRD, there is a poster called memoo, I remember her well. I don't know if she's gone, though. It is a tad close though isn't it?

Jux · 16/07/2011 17:21

Oh, and welcome, mitmoo. It's the links that cause the real trouble.....

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/07/2011 17:27

Oh no - I meant it very genuinely! And especially now you've mastered bolding!

Jux Your troll alert radar needs fixing.

My name is after one of my cats originally called mittens abbreviated to mitmoo.

There are probably 1000's of registered names on this site so no whoever the previous poster was I'm a newbie to here.

Salaciously Interesting Odd Bits?

Mitmoo · 16/07/2011 17:50

Jux and Because: Thanks for the welcome, I don't know if the similar name had a child is AS but if you check it out I've been posting last weekend on Special Needs.

But we're not the same.

'troll radar'? If you are a new poster you must be a long time lurker Grin

And surely it would be Mums' Net, belonging to all the mums

Seldom Interesting Or Brilliant? Wink

ChaosTrulyReigns · 16/07/2011 17:57

Nope.

None of the above.

But some are very good, but too pacific. Wink

And i don't think Jux's troll radar was out (if indeed she has one).

I just think she was pointing out that it was quite close to an existing poster's name.

Mitmoo · 16/07/2011 18:04

Seldom I do hate to burst your bubble but the term "troll radar" is interchangeable with every single forum that has ever existed. So your presumption that because I've used that term I must have been lurking is erroneous.

It could just as easily be Mum's Net as it is a forum for one mum or many mums so singular or plural could work just as well.

Is there an acronym for FMPAB.

It's my new acronym:

It means, Feck Me Pedants Are Boring. Grin

Sorry, I obviously disagree.

Shit, I ordered dessert.

Sincerity is often disingenuous.

Oh

Shit is obviously disgusting.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/07/2011 18:06

Now you're just trying to provoke us pedants aren't you?! If it was Mum's Net it could only be a net that belonged to one mum. If it was for more than one mum it would be Mums' Net.

Oh look! I appear to have risen to the bait! Grin
