OK, am I?

[Fluffyone]

To get frustrated with the sheer volume of abbreviations on this forum? I can deal with DH, DP, DC etc (although it grates to be honest "Darling Child" ) but every time I look in I see another set of initials that leave me clueless.
Is it that people are slow typists?

nope, just found it - it's WIMBEWAIF and WIMBEWAINF. Something to do with conception. But still doesn't explain what it stands for.

It could be worse - they could use text speak. I wouldn't have a clue - to me it is something that the Enigma codebreaker should be working on.

yabu. it saves time, and as i am lurking at work, when i post i like to make it quick.

LOL! Quick to type and slow to read then.

I mainly use OH.
DD is ok I guess, but DP makes me squirm

I want to know what WIMBEWAIF means now....

Thanks thumbwitch, something else for me to ponder!

Upon Googling, Thumbwitch, I can find:

WIBAMU Well, I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle

WDYMBT What Do You Mean By That?

WYGISWYPF What You Get Is What You Pay For

but no WIMBEWAIN, which I swear I've seen somewhere too.

Got that flipping song going through my head now...

I Google too slowly....

Found it!!

Where Is My Baby Exactly When All Is (Not) Fine?

God, I need to get a life...........

Come over to the SEN boards (that's special educational needs). It's a whole other world of acronyms and abbreviations.

Heck, I could even give you some advice on to how to get the LEA to do a SA for your SN child (who hasn't got a DX) and how to claim DLA, get in touch with IPSEA and access support from an OT, SALT or even an EP.

aaah, ok so for people ttc without problems but still not concieving ?

WIGTTFOMS!!

Well I'll go to the foot of my stairs!

I just made that one up - do you think it will sweep Mumsnet?

People who keep getting BFNs

And now I'll sleep easy tonight.... thanks Poledra!

pedro

I like it.

I promise to use it at least once today.

WIGTTFOMS!

Bytheway is going to use it!

Cor!

I will.
We can play hide and seek... at some point today I'll use it and you have to find it and pay me a fiver

YABU IWBNFA so FTFO.

Funnily enough, I understand all the SEN acronyms, because I am a clerk to governors for several schools.

Maybe we should try to make GYAC happen again.

Bytheway - can you say it in a Yorkshire accent so I will recogonise it?
