What do the acronyms mean?
Hi Everyone
Since I'm a newbie, can someone tell me if there's a cheat sheet lurking around this site to help me understand the acronyms (DH, PIP, etc....)? It's a whole new language for me!
Re: What do the acronyms mean?
Oh wow! I didn't even know there was a trouble in paradise board. I know what I'm reading this afternoon!
There's a Bump board glossary near the bottom of the blue bar to the left, in case you ever come across something baby-related that you don't know. For some reason there's no official Nest glossary, though I know there's a bio out there somewhere with the info, I just don't have the link.
Anyway, some of the more common ones:
DH = general shorthand for (dear) husband
DS/DD = dear son/daughter
DD = also means dirty delete, for the deletion of a post (usually refers to a deletion because the original poster doesn't like the responses she got, but also generically to any deletion)
HTH = hope that helps
IMHO = in my humble opinion
MUD = made-up drama (some people just like to mess with others)
N + Board Initials + R (e.g. NDR, NMMR) = not related to the topic of that board, usually a National board, but often Nesties become regulars of a board and like to get the opinions of that board even if it's off-topic.
NMR = not my style
OP = original poster
PP = prior poster
PIP = picture in post
PIB = picture in bio
XP = cross post (a post you put on multiple boards)
A few more:
ILs/MIL/FIL/BIL/SIL= in-laws, mother/father/brother/sister-in-law
GL= good luck
WWYD= what would you do (not really a nest acronym i guess)
WDYT= what do you think
TTC= trying to conceive
HM= honeymoon
IRL= in real life
NFT= no further text
AW= attention wh0re
