Sylia Posted December 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi All, In the interests of helping out people who are new to the boards, I thought it might be an idea to start a thread listing abbreviations which are commonly used by people posting. This would be a single place for people who run across a strange abbreviation to ask what it means, and it might also be a good place to post new abbreviations as they come up. If I miss any (more like whichever ones I miss) please feel free to make the necessary additions/deletions/corrections. Some Commonly Used Abbreviations 1. Family DH - Dear Husband, Darling Husband (etc) DW - Dear Wife.... DD - Darling Daughter... DS - Dear Son... BIL - Brother in Law SIL - Sister in Law MIL - Mother in Law FIL - Father in Law 2. Phrases IMHO - In my humble opinion JMHO - Just my humble opinion LOL - Laughing out loud ROTFL - Rolling on the floor laughing ROTFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my a$$ off TTYL - Talk to you Later TTFN - Ta Ta for now Anyone else? Sylia Has anyone ever wondered why abbreviation is such a long word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
