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.

Ignore it all. No-one important gives a stuff as long as you make sense.

Fuck's sake's

I can't bear the acronyms. They make me cringe. I'm not a fan of smileys of any type either. They creep me out. And I also can't bear the putting in brackets of things like . And then the incongruent fury over the use of the word hugs!

I'm not in the club. I like hanging out here but I don't belong.

Sorry BIWI not meaning to offend anyone, just that this should be an inclusive site, regardless of ability to spell and punctuate.

Sorry I Overstepped Boundaries?

You're not a capitalist either michelle.

Pasch I actually hold an English Degree but I still made a mistake over the name of the site. They will be letting fallible humans post next.

How shocking. Grin

FWIW OP I dont think you are new either.

michelleseashell · 16/07/2011 18:25

I know, that was the response to my first ever post- go and capitalise your name!

I prefer it all slurred together. It's more me!

SuePurblybilt · 16/07/2011 18:26

I was just about to say that Disaster.

I think someone is making a point Grin

Disasterpiece · 16/07/2011 18:27

Mitmoo · 16/07/2011 18:29

Disaster and Sue I am not new to forums but I am new to this forum.

well, it could just be a very long time lurker. But the posting style and the chippiness is very MN Grin

Disasterpiece · 16/07/2011 18:31

DNN!!!!!!

Definitely not new.

SuePurblybilt · 16/07/2011 18:32

Fo'sho' she did. Or matinee jackets.

BitOfFun · 16/07/2011 18:35

I want a matinée jacket.

SuePurblybilt · 16/07/2011 18:37

Then, BOF, my local charity shop is right up your alley. Terry Wogan's autobiography (I looked up cock in the index - nada) and wall to wall bed jackets.
Or are you just saying that to show off you can do accents?

BitOfFun · 16/07/2011 18:40

If the über-cock isn't in the book, I'm not interested...

Paschaelina · 16/07/2011 18:41

I thought it was tea cosies

SuePurblybilt · 16/07/2011 18:41

I didn't look under uber (am not even trying umlaut. Cannot even spell it).
Of course, it's very easy to be clever......
