To get fed up with all the acronyms

[MrsKTx]

...there's just so many and I don't see how it saves any time or really what the point is? It's so confusing lol!
Dsis for example - why not just write sister??

Lol does mean lots od laughs

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOL

But I wouldn't have thought of WTF meaning with the family

I am howling at Dfish

thecolonelbumminganugget I thought that as well

I haven't seen dfish but I'm sure I've seen dhamster.

DF, dear father? Friend? Fiance?
DS sister or son?
BF, best friend or boyfriend?
DN, niece or nephew?

And WTF doesn't mean With The Family. It's been What The Fuck for at least 20 years. As has LOL meant Laugh Out Loud.

I don't mind DH or DP, but I prefer it if people used the actual word for other family, as it can get very confusing if someone is using an ambiguous one like DS for sister and son in the same thread.

Meh

at stupid bastard ex husband.

You know you have been on mn too long when you say you are going with DH to see the pil.

I don't get the 'dear' thing either, I never say dear mum or dear nephew when I'm speaking to someone, it sounds weird.

All acronyms are a waste of time not just the ones on mumsnet. It's not clear and doesn't speed up any process of communication. It was wishful thinking this nonsense would stop after the text talk died out but no.

It's crap and hinders communication.

"Son" is a word we can all read and understand without needing to "read" it. DS is counter-intuitive and ambiguous. A load of B. (Bollocks. Not bullshit.)

Malcom MRA = men's rights activist

Normally very sad misogynistic men who fear women.

Normal, decent men = good

I cannot abide the acronyms. Any acronym makes it harder for the reader and all this 'D' H business is so twee and old fashioned.

Woooosh.

The sound of malcolm's post going over a fair few heads

I don't use MN a great deal but when I was pregnant and using it daily I did start to think of my husband as DH even in my head...

I still don't know what OP stands for! I know it refers to the poster of the thread, but can't figure it out.

Original poster Taz.

Tazmum01 either Original Poster or Original Post.

Oh...is it Original Poster/Post??
Jesus Christ, what a noonoo.

Jolly, cross post, but thanks. It hit me when I saw it in words 😝

I know DonkeyOaty! Made sense before I looked it up (and still does haha)

Thanks, real x

I thought it was stopped bastard ex husband too ...im going to have to look that one up now !

Stupid not stopped ffs

If Dfish is a thing I am now going to have DDragon

I do like Stbxh I find it descriptive somehow

DFOD do fuck off dear?
