Finally Given In - MN Speak

[Davros]

This weekend I finally gave in and started using those revolting, twee MN abbreviations, you know DH, DS DD etc. Now I truly belong! Has anyone else held out before and given in or still holding out?

LOL, ROFL and indeed PMSL, ScummyMummy.

Oh, thanks, WSM. Silly me. Perhaps IMAO could be "ironing my arse off"???

discordia
I have thought of that but I loathe Chris Tarrant and his thinly veiled condesencion (sp) to women and his false gurning

suzy - I do a deal with you. You do the fastest finger, I'll answer the questions with CT and we'll split the proceedings!

Discordia, how will you do the answers? maybe a light cough at the right option?

Aha, good idea, will you be the "plant" in the audience? However, coughing has been done, may need to invent new signal.

They are very annoying and I haven't used them yet. I had it in my head that the d was darling not dear though, which is worse really.

WTF?

FFS, Davros, what's the problem?

(That was meant to be vaguely funny, by the way - BTW yet - not as annoying as I think it turned out. Sorry.)

I am holding out with the d*s but have given up writing whole swear words (so as not to offend people; I still think them) and do the other abbreviations.

It's the abbreviations on the ttc (oops I've done it!) threads that COMPLETELY stump me. I am dreading when my 'darling partner' and I start 'trying to conceive' and I go on there and get totally bloody lost

Suzy & Discordia, maybe one of you could try farting in the audience? Remember not to cough at the same time to cover it up though
Motherinferior, thanks for choosing the best abbreviations I've started to put the occasional asterisk in swear words which is a bit sh*te really!

I try not to type swear words because they might get through the work filter, or whatever it's called.

I always thought there was a slightly ironic edge to the 'd' in dh,dd,ds etc. - certainly own dh thinks so and constantly suspects me of having a little bitch about him online... oh, as if!

LOL Lisa78, I have done the same thing and frequently refer to dh as dh!!!!

That's what I thought too Spots. As if you are saying it through gritted teeth while recounting the latest appalling saga... maybe I'm just cynical.

None of you have mentioned PORK!

Janstar, what is PORK?

Aparrently it is what you get on predictive text if you type PMSL into your mobile phone.

It has now become mnspeak in its own right.

PORK!

hee hee Janstar, PMSL.

I always think of the words -- is that weird? I think that's the reason I can't do the dear-whatever thing. Because they're not all the time and usually not when I'm writing about them and then I never really think of them as "dear". Love them, of course. Just not a word I use.

blame ff for pork......

Ha ha at the predictive text thing, anyone else called someone a dualing aunt?

Now is probably a good time to ask what on earth ROFL stands for?
