I don't get most of the abbreviations. examples such as.. ffiw, iyswim, rofl, pmsl??? There are tons more i don't get. Is there something i can click on to inform me!!!???

It particularly irks me when a poster refers to me directly and then uses an abbreviation which when asked they don't explain.

I sometimes call Boys, Ju, just to confuse people further!

I read that as being 'Am i unreasonable to get NAKED when mumsnetters use abbreviations' .

I was thinking, well yes you are really, it is a little odd

Where's that margo got to with the linkie??

4 stands for "who cares". It's a Codisim.

Oh BALD I went to bed. I'm sure it was in Classics.

QuintessentialShadow · 02/06/2009 12:02

I find it particularly useful if somebody with a name I dont know call me by one of my previous incarnations. Then I KNOW they actually know me, and also gives a clue as to who they are (under the disquise so to speak)

I love Ju.
btw

COD is an acronym, but you only get told what it stands for when you write your 500th post.
