Confused...

Ok- so I mentioned a few days ago Im new to the boards- kinda embarrassed to ask, but can anyone fill me in on what some of the common abbreviations stand for?  :)

Re: Confused...

  • I thought there used to be a starter post that said ?read this if you are new?.  Maybe someone knows about that.  I can think of a few.  What ones are your wondering about?

    DH ? Dear Husband

    DD ? Dear Daughter

    DS- Dear Son

    MUD ? Made up Drama

  • YGPM  - You got private message

  • FIL

    -       Father-In-Law

    IMO ? In my opinion (some people had IMHO in my humble opinion)

  • AW= attention wh0re

    nft: no further text

    PIP: picture in post

    s/o i believe means spin off but i could be wrong on that one!

    Yup! SO = significant other, but s/o usually means spin off (like a new thread)

    If you want more, feel free to check out the MSP bio (and go to FAQs) in my signature. It's meant for The Knot, but a lot of the abbreviations are the same :)

    f/u = followup
    @ = kid/baby related. saw this first om mm but it seems to be spreading

    board specific:
    ndr = not decorating related
    nmr or nmmr = not money matters related
    etc...if you see n/r it means not related to the board topic

    w/r = work or wedding related
    p/r = pregnancy related

    wdyt = what do you think
    wdciiy = we don't care if its you [so why would we care if it happened to your sister's boyfriend's brother?]

    DD = dirty delete. When someone deletes a thread they started, usually b/c they were getting flamed. But can also go for any thread deletion. Warn people in your op if you plan to delete later. 

    op = original post or original poster
