To have spent months wondering why so many MNers are called Tia?

[papercliphoarder]

Just worked it out. What a muppet.

I don't think that makes you a muppet.

I've spent all day taken in by a thread that, on nearing the end, was most definitely a troll.

I could have been learning a language or traversing the Sahara or something useful.

Arf!

Me too...

Ha!

I sometimes struggle with those shorthands too. When I moved to Glasgow for a year or two I thought there was a football player called Gers as there were constant headlines about him. Gers wins a match etc.

Then it dawned on me that Gers was short for Rangers. Duh.

love,
not Tia.

Please explain to those still in the dark....

thanks in anticipation

Oh, I thought it was 'thanks in advance..'

When I first joined MN I thought an unusual number of women had children with the initials dd.

Yeah I thought it was thanks in advance too MrsRajesh

It's on the list

Mrs Rajesh, it can, depending on which socio-economic group you belong to.

Ahhhh.... I see. One more.... PFB... Precious first born?

I got told by someone from MNHQ whilst reporting a post oops!!

The one confusing me at the mo is 'wilf'.

Oh, and the 'afaik' which is at the end of every 'Talk Roundup' email i receive.

What does it all meeeeaaan?

As far as I know.

I think Wilf is the name of a poster's son, isn't that right?

AFAIK- As Far As I Know

Wilf is the name of a MNers son.

Hopefully it is wilf not milf !

TA (thanks all)

Well i hope that Tia realises the can of worms she's opened.

And ooh - a list. Thanks for linking to it, MNHQ

When I first joind I thougbt that when people just put the word "bump" as a post on any thread (even one about eastendrs) they were announcing that they had just discovered they were pregnant

Announcing a pregnancy with a single 'bump' doesn't sound too excited does it!

Stealth that's brilliant

Dp thought Lol was short for Laura, as his dd Laura put it in texts.
