Acronym not on the list

12 replies

Right, I've tried working it out but I am obviously thick as two short planks.

What does TAAT, or TAT mean? As in "This is not a TAAT of another thread".

Can't find it on the acronym list at all.

Thank you!

it means 'thread about a thread'

usually used when the original thread has been deleted and someone starts a new one talking about it

Thread About A Thread.

Generally frowned upon to start a thread specifically about another thread, or a post or poster on a thread.

TAAT = Thread About A Thread - starting a thread to discuss an existing thread - considered poor form on MN.

Thank you all! I'll sit in the corner with my dunce hat on for a while.

Don't worry, Gooo, the acronyms list is a tad out of date!

BeccaMumsnet · 03/03/2015 09:52

Thanks for flagging this up everyone - are there any more acronyms that you guys think we should add?

GoooRooo · 03/03/2015 11:19

There are losts of ASD type acronyms I've read on threads and don't understand at all. (I realise ASD itself is on the list!) I can't think what they are off the top of my head though

BeccaMumsnet - might it be worth starting a thread with the current acronyms list, and asking people to add the ones they think need to be put on it?

tribpot · 03/03/2015 11:56

Or would that be a TAAT! Boom boom!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/03/2015 12:08

Ohh no - you are right, tribpot! Blush

BeccaMumsnet · 06/03/2015 12:47

Hi everyone - we've added TAAT to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks Becca!
