Help us update the acronyms/abbreviations list please

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello.

It's been pointed out to us a few times now that our Acronyms and abbrevations list needs updating.

So, since you're the ones who really know your AIBUs from your AFAIKs, please tell us what you think should get the chop (if anything) and what needs adding.

TTFN (not that one, pls!)

I have always wanted to know what PESH stands for, but have been to shy to ask....

I have asked re PESH & BESH....am dying to know!

Thanks re: UTGSN.
I always read "PESH" as a drunken, slurred "BEST" i.e. We're PESH friends etc.

Probably not that though.

i've never understood the nanny acronym MB (or BM)
I know what it is, just not what it stands for

Seconding (thirding?) TWC and UTGSN.

We don't need to explain TWC, do we?

Yes i votes for TWC = Terry Wogans Cords

and nice cords they are too

Ohhhh... TWC and UTGSN..... fourther here

and a little TWC emoticon. (he'd look so cute with the seasonal additions)

Actually can we have a mildly irritated emoticon as well... sort of angry face but a different colour, I don't really get angry but sometimes want to express mild displeasure.

stealth I wondered that too and came t0 the conclusion it way My Boss or Boss's Mother (depending on who the nanny thinks they work for ) but that's just a guess.

can i suggest: HWGA - here we go again

and a [rolls eyes] smiley to go with it

And a sticky out tongue emoticon......

MB - Mum Boss.
BM - Boss Mum
I think

= tits

or in my case

Am very much likeing TWC and FTFOAFOAWYGT

ahhhhhhhhhh I thought it was Baby Mother, which sounds like something an American gay couple would have.
And then MB made no sense at all

I thought that BM stood for Birth Mother, but I might be completely wrong.

A serious one:

RF - Rear facing (car seat or pushchair)
FF - Forward facing (car seat usually) in this context (as it more often means Formula Feeding)

Seconding DILLIGAF

but shouldn't FTFOAFOAWYGT be FTFOAWYGTFTFOA?

Oh, FF isn't on there at all. So put both meanings on! It's usually obvious from context which is meant.

BESH = Barren, evil, .... hag - sorry, cannot remember the 3rd one

PESH = Pregnant, evil ... hag

'Tis a TTC thread, obviously , quote from some newspaper article or other.

Please somebody tell me what on earth is DILLIGAF and FTFOAFOAWYGT??

We must get TWC, surely, pretty please with sugar on top?

TWC©

They thought Shagging with Intent was better than baby dancing?

It is less twee...

i never know whether EBF is express breast fed or extended breast feeding and also get a bit about it

I'm up for TWC essential in this day and age.
