To be hate the constant use of acronyms on this site

[BucketandSpade]

I mean how long does it take to write son, daughter, husband? And they're not always darling or dear are they? TBH. My personal bug bears are LOL, IMHO and, most of all, worst of all. AF! Just say period for god's sake! What are we, floral apron wearing, valium munchers, living in middle america in the 1950's?

For some reason I always read AF as "annual friend", which makes no sense in any case!

The acronyms are very twee, aren't they?

I had no idea what AF was for about a year.

Sorry, I disagree with op. The use of ffs and wtf, accompanied by a wherever possible, are possibly my favourite expressions of the last decade...

serenity

I like...

HTH

Nicely passive aggressive.

OK - so now I know where boak comes from - many thanks everyone - but you've thrown another one I don't know into the mix - what's a BAMF and do I want to be one??
