Hi
I really like this site. It is like an adult version of Twitter that is open to all sorts of views and not just some neo Marxist/woke echo chamber full of people trying to be more fascist than the previous poster.
However, for me it is often like trying to read A Clockwork Orange, as I have no idea what the abbreviations mean. Is there some sort of dictionary that I can refer to?

There is somewhere. I can’t remember where though.

Common ones are...
AIBU - am I being unreasonable?
YABU - you are being unreasonable.
YANBU - you are not being unreasonable.
CF - cheeky fucker.
DC - darling children
DD - darling daughter
DS - darling son
DH - darling husband
etc

There will still be others that creep in but this will help you grasp the basics.

Thank you both, now I can understand what I am reading. @MazDazzle apparently CF means cystic fibrosis, but I prefer your version.

Hi. Sorry to jump on the thread but could someone also kindly explain what the biscuit emoji means please. I see it sometimes but not sure what it represents.

MazDazzle · 20/12/2020 18:57

The biscuit emoji means ‘no comment’ or in other words, ‘shut up you’re speaking nonsense’.

Charcutaria · 20/12/2020 18:58

Or biscuit equals boring.

Biscuit also means marking place this thread looks like shit might be about to go down
