Bit harsh treatment of a newbie Meeely .

Welcome. There is an acronyms list somewhere - i think it's under Useful stuff.

I found DS DD and DC confused me the most...

TheOddOne · 18/03/2009 16:31

Here

Stretch · 18/03/2009 16:31

There used to be an acronym page, (before someone went and changed the layout !!!) but I can't find it now!

Welcome!

BitOfFun · 18/03/2009 16:31

IIRC kept me guessing for weeks!

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2009 16:32

It's here! Click on the word 'here', it should be in blue.

(see, I'm nice )

Stretch · 18/03/2009 16:32

Rhubarb · 18/03/2009 16:33

I think the last one means Tickle Hairy Apes Nuts Knocking Shit

screamingabdab · 18/03/2009 16:33

Welcome,

yes look under "useful stuff" then acronym list

Well done on your first , uncontroversial post
(I could be wrong, someone really angry might be along sometime to call you a dickwipe or something

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2009 16:34

X-posts means that we have cross-posted, this means that in the time while I was writing my message of 16:32:12 TheOddOne, Stretch, and BitOfFun all wrote new messages, so when I posted I didn't know that TheOddOne had already given you the link.

poopscoop · 18/03/2009 16:36

I THINK WE SHOULD CALL TROLL

Good initiation ceremony

Rhubarb · 18/03/2009 16:37

And a dickwipe is basically a compliment.

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2009 16:40

I feel complimented if Rhubarb deigns to notice me at all, if it's a comment as full of feeling as 'dickwipe' then I am happy for the rest of the day.

cornsilk i don't think so, maybe she OP just tires of our gay repartee and witty banter. I'm pretty tired meself actually, and pasta pesto doesn't just make itself!
