to ask what Mumsnet words/sayings/things you misunderstood before you found out the real meaning?

[CoolToned]

I thought the woo thread is about courting, until I read the thread and realised it's about woo as in ghosts!

[JakeBallardswife]

Rtft I thought was read the fucking thread.

DM sometimes I read as daily mail rather than dear mum.

[Lweji]

DM sometimes I read as daily mail rather than dear mum.
Sometimes it is. AKA the Daily Fail

[beckythemasterbaker]

It's like 'oh shut it, have a biscuit that'll keep you quiet" - it's also used like Popcorn but we don't have a Popcorn emoji
🍿thought I should throw that in.

[namechangerequiredforthis]

I thought the biscuit was a tit!! Oi, you tit kind of thing!

[Lweji]

It can be two tits sometimes.

[astronomical]

Perfect FUCKING baby

[Aurielia]

Can't believe I'm admitting this, but I used to think dp was double penetration!

To be fair I was doing an essay on feminism and porn for college around the time I joined.

But It did make me think mnet was full of rather openly honest, kinky people at the time.

[CoolToned]

I thought YY means Yes Yo. I don't know why I thought that :D But at least, it is not far off.

[newmumintown]

Ok Aurielia, that beats my =arsehole!!

[oldlaundbooth]

'I thought LTB meant let things be.'

Brilliant

[loobyloo1234]

STBX - always thought this was Stupid Bastard Ex too whoops

[SemiNormal]

I always thought the biscuit was essentially calling someone a tit, because ya know, it kind of looks like one .... I know, I know.

[Trufflethewuffle]

I originally got myself confused with PIL as I thought it was Pa in Law rather than Parents in Law. No idea why I thought that as I don't use Ma and Pa.

[nonline]

Another here who thought YY meant 'yes,yes!' i.e. ardent agreement...

[trufflepiggy]

What does YY mean?

[badabing36]

I thought the was a nipple.

[ApocalypseSlough]

LTB- let things be

[Lweji]

LTB- let things be

I wonder, now, if that's why some people complain about others saying LTB too often.
It must be it.

[P1nkP0ppy]

Oh god, no hope for me!
I must be so naive or too old to be on here!

[MythicalChicken]

I thought the 'DRY' thread was a support group for people who did not want to have sex. It was only when I went on to post that I realized it wasn't.

I have no idea why I thought that.

[Myteaismighty]

I thought the biscuit was like saying "calm down dear, have a biscuit" to someone who is being ridiculous/ott/a twat

[MythicalChicken]

So, what does 'YY' mean?
