Is anyone else fed up with threads that have so many confusing abbreviations on them ? Just write in English for heavens sake . If it’s not dh, ds , dc, dm, nc , lc , tc , bil, and on and on and on .

DH - is that direct husband, dickhead husband , divorced husband , deluded husband , or damaged husband. It’s crackers .
The other day I saw a thread that had -
GSD ! So what’s that ?
Gravy so divine?
Good solid decking ?
Or guilty sexy dance ?
No , it turns out to be , German Shepherd Dog !!!! Of course it was , I should of known 😂
Just write normal !
Ive put this thread in the AIBU section! God knows what that means ?

Maybe you should make a few more posts saying exactly the same thing?

Thank god someone said it 🤣 I'm fine with all the DH, DD, etc etc. But fucks sake sometimes it's like GJPDFVVOMASPPD. Erm what?

leafygarden · 14/03/2023 08:43

You're a bit slow on the uptake.

Hope That Helps

If you use mn regularly, you soon get used to the abbreviations.

(This Thread is Hilarious 😂)

BreviloquentBastard · 14/03/2023 08:48

Ddog and dcat always make me laugh, because why??? They're not abbreviations so what's the point?

However, this is the internet, wherever you go there's going to be a shorthand, yes it's often cringe on Mumsnet but oh well. Here we all are anyway.

GSD isn't a MN abbreviation, it's universal.

Why have you made 2 threads saying exactly the same thing?

Lovefilms · 14/03/2023 10:28

Universal or not , it’s still confusing. I didn’t think the other had posted so I deleted and wrote this one

Should of, could of, would of?

But regarding the acronyms, if I hadn't worked out, for example, that people interchangeably use 'GF' for 'good friend', goady fucker', 'girl friend', and 'grandfather', I'd have been extremely worried about what sort relationships some people were involved in. 😮
