LINGO?

[Lorah]

Okay.....I'm officially a total DORK!!!!
And, at the risk of making myself out to be completely stupid sounding...

Can you post something that explains the lingo on here.....
For example:

BTW= by the way
DH=dear husband
MIL= Mother in law
SIL = sister in law
BIL=brother in law
SAHM=stay at home mom
WAHM=work at home mom
AF= Aunt Flow
TTC= trying to conceive
MNO=Moms night out
These are the ones off the top of my head that I know....but what is:
PPL=
KWIM=
any others that I cannot think about right now....sometimes I get it within the context of the post, but other times I feel really lame...maybe it is just me (that wouldn't suprise me if it were).....
Thanks.

ppl is people
kwim is know what i mean
lol i always thought DH meant dumb husband!!! LOL

[Lorah]

heheeh thanks...hehehe maybe DH is dumb husband....I guess it might depend on the day, or who you ask for that matter.

[lmfike]

with dh the stands for whichever word is appropriate either dumb, dear, dang

[Lynette]

with dh the stands for whichever word is appropriate either dumb, dear, dang

I first heard it has "darling" in which case it can go both ways if you are sarcastic. Same with dd or ds: darling daughter, darling son

Oh, Kelly used dtd the other day I believe: do the deed

[Lorah]

I like DTD...thats a fun one!

when i first saw DH it was on www.atruckerswife.com so i thought it meant driver husband...Being that i am a truckers wife i felt really stupid when i found i had got the whole meaning wrong.

[LMS]

When I first joined I saw a HUGE list of all of these used on the website, but I haven't been able to find it again. If you look hard, I'm sure you can find it. There were so many!!!

[LMS]

yeah, when i input them, i did it with enters but it was set to read enters as spaces and needed the html break code to go down a line, and i never got around to fixing it.
