I feel like I joined the club and wasn't given the codebook. :) Here is a link I found that has these and more: AIM Acronym Dictionary I didn't go through the whole list, but i think this has the basic stuff. Oh, and since this is a cruise board, let me tie this in with cruising, um, have fun "cruising" through the acronym lists!;) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and since this is a cruise board, let me tie this in with cruising, um, have fun "cruising" through the acronym lists!;) :p Well, after going back and looking at the list, some common things are missing and it looks like it may be more teen lingo than anything else. Sorry! Just do a search of computer acronyms and you should find the more common ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 25, 2007 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I just call my family by "hubby" "son", "daughter", etc.... The "dear" or "darling" is waaay too sweet-sounding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleluv Posted April 25, 2007 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I just call my family by "hubby" "son", "daughter", etc.... The "dear" or "darling" is waaay too sweet-sounding... I very rarely call DH anything at home other than "Dear", "Sweetie" or "Honey", if I called him by name he'd think he was in trouble... ;) So it makes perfect sense to call him "DH" here... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you hear about the 13 year old girl who won $25,000 for typing the thing from Mary Poppins, and I can't even BEGIN to type it all, lol-Supercalafredgealistic, you know the rest!!:D :p She did it in 13 seconds! she said she sends about 8000 texts a month to family and friends!:eek: What???? What kind of a plan do those people HAVE? And what are her grades in school like? I would hate to run into her, maybe literally, on a cruise!
