I'm new to this and unsure of the abbreviations haha

So yeah I'm new to think and I'm reading posts but have no clue of what any of the abbreviations mean so get a bit confused 🫣🤭. Would love if someone could spare a minute to tell me them please!!

Here you go OP 😊 www.mumsnet.com/i/acronyms

I thought CF was cheeky f**ker - or is that a context thing too

How funny hahaha I'm guessing it's an abbreviation too 🤔🤣

Oh wow I didn't realise there was that many!!! Thank you so much x

@JodieT29

It can be incredibly confusing even with the list!

DF = dear father, but is also sometimes used as dear friend.

Similarly BF can be boyfriend or best friend.

Context is everything but it doesn't always help with long, rambling posts 😉

Even more confusing are the ones where the characters are referred to as friendA, friendB, friendC and friendD!

I found GP confusing
I couldn't understand why some posters were involving their doctor in certain situations.
It was grandparents 😩😂

To add to the confusion I've seen it used once or twice to refer to guinea pigs!

Guinea pigs !!!
Oh wow ! 😂

Similarly BF can be boyfriend or best friend.

Or indeed breastfeed/ing in certain contexts.

How funny 🤣

@NightmareSlashDelightful oops, yes, forgot that one! I am very old

Ending sentences with ha ha is generally frowned upon …
