To ask what does CF mean?

I think I've figured out most abbreviations on MN but I just can't imagine what cf might stand for even though I understand how it's used. The only thing I can think of is "cunt fucker" but it's not that is it?? Hmm

Also, what is ama?

It took me ages to figure out what is pita but it finally clicked. Easter Smile

Does anyone else have any abbreviations they don't understand?

(Apologies if this information is available somewhere)

Cheeky fucker

StrawberryPot · 19/04/2022 00:16

You're right with CF

AMA = ask me anything

minou123 · 19/04/2022 00:16

CF = Cheeky Fucker

AMA = Ask Me Anything

StrawberryPot · 19/04/2022 00:18

At - I see I was wrong about CF!

minou123 · 19/04/2022 00:18

I think I've worked out all abbreviations.

But I love a poster on a recent thread who confessed they thought DH stood for Dick Head Grin

I think CF is very much a mumsnet abbreviation. I don't think I've seen it anywhere else

If remember correctly (or IIRC) there was a rash of threads in AIBU of outrageous demands from friends/family/neighbours.
It started with "they are really cheeky" to "what a cheeky fucker" to "what a CF"

A-ha! thanks!

was thinking stupid bastard ex husband 😅

Squiff70 · 19/04/2022 00:33

I worked out most of the acronyms on MN too but like you, took a while for the CF penny to drop. Took even longer to figure out LTB! Have to confess I had no idea what AMA was either until just now Blush. There's one left to work out and I've been too embarrassed to ask. Now the perfect opportunity has arisen, I can't remember which one it was.

@colouringindoors

A-ha! thanks!

That works too Grin
minou123 · 19/04/2022 00:40

The 2 I didn't know and had to work out were:

HTH = Hope That Helps
TIA =Thanks in Advance.

I genuinely thought TIA was the Ops real name and they accidentally signed the end of thier post with thier name Blush

Jamboree01 · 19/04/2022 01:00

I genuinely thought this meant stupid bastard ex husband 😯

Took me ages to figure out ODFOD

LovingTheAbbreviations · 29/11/2022 13:58

Lol I'm here for the abbreviations. I have to google them all! This is how I found this thread! I thought CF meant something much worse...!!! In my head it still does ;)

Sickofcoughing · 29/11/2022 14:06

I keep seeing Hit The Hay with HTH but it never made sense to tell someone to go to bed after offering them some advice

XmasElf10 · 29/11/2022 14:07

ODFOD - oh do fuck off dear???

I remember someone saying they thought it was Stupid bastard ex husband.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 29/11/2022 14:09

“Cunt Fucker” and “stupid bastard ex husband” will be how I read it from now on though!

FunnysInLaJardin · 29/11/2022 14:11

At one time CF used to be cunty fucker. I think now it has been watered down to cheeky fucker
