Aibu all these mumsnet acronyms

[heatwave2018]

Geesh AIBU to think that there are so many acronyms on here like CF, DH etc (ignore that one) we really need an easy access glossary one here! What's your best/worst?

Erm...there is one

Took me a while to figure out "TTC and DSD" Also STBXH was one that somebody used once and it confused me. (Soon to be ex husband I think it was)

You literally just click on the arrow next to 'talk' and the Acronyms are there.

There is a list on the site which I now use

Trud what are those acronyms and where is this arrow on the app?

Sorry OP didn't know you were using an app. I tried to copy and paste them for you but it looks too messy.

Mostly it just makes it easier and quicker to type. The one that I totally don't get is Ddog. I mean, why?? It's longer than just writing dog and looks like a stutter. It's really daft

Mission thank you! I don’t care if it's messy I'm used to html, css and all that jazz! Go for it!

I find the whole thing hilarious.

Thank you! AF should be as fuck!

I though CF was cunty fucker and STBXH was stupid bastard ex husband

Ddog, dcat etc really irritate me. More than they should. I've no idea why anyone needs the 'D' anyway.

Trying to conceive and dear step daughter. :-) I'm not sure where on the app but I think someone has just linked it. I'm slow on threads today sorry

I got stung by a Dwasp today though.

I think they sound ridiculous and are very confusing, you don't know if people are talking about friends or father, boss or brother.

Some posters love mocking the so-called "huns" from netmums but are happy to talk about their "dear daughter". How lazy can you be if you can't type a few more letters.

They only irritate me if someone is telling an epic story and there's hundreds of them, and they start throwing their own in or putting another meaning to existing ones! Then it gets stupid

Gets VERY confusing when people talk about their DD being on her DS*, and when the DPs^ come over.
Under those circs I think a few extra letters would definitely help!
And if you're going to use DS for sisters as well, then DSis would work better.

• referring to the Nintendo DS ^ DPs meaning parents rather than partners

STXBH stupid twat ex bastard husband?
