MishW Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi! Gals and Pals! We're growing by leaps and bounds, and we're getting a lot of members who are new to the online community world. I thought I'd put together a list of common abbreviations that you'll see here. We even have some that are exclusive to Gals! If anyone has any additions, please pm a mod or post it here and we'll add them to the list. TY. zany b/c = Because b4 = Before BIAB = Back In A Bit BRB = Be Right Back BTW = By The Way CH = Celtic Hearts CYA = See Ya DD = Dear Daughter DH = Dear Husband DP = Dear Partner DS = Dear Son F2F = Face To Face FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions FYI = For Your Information GMTA =Great Minds Think Alike huggles = Hugs IM = Instant Message IMHO =In My Humble Opinion (or In My Honest Opinion) IMO = In My Opinion IRL = In Real Life JK = Just Kidding JMHO = Just My Humble Opinion L8R G8R = Later Gator LOL = Laughing Out Loud LMAO = Laughing My Arse Off Me2 = Me too ODMHH = Oh Dear My Head Hurts OMG = Oh My Gosh (God) peeps = People PITA = Pain In The Arse PM = Private Message poof = when someone leaves a chat room, often seen as *poof* as in boy he *poofed* in a hurry pooter = computer ppl = people QT = Cutie RL = Real Life ROFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing ROFLMAO = Rolling on the floor laughing my arse off RT = Real Tme (as opposed to virtual) SO = Significant Other TTFN = Ta-Ta For Now TY = Thank You ttyl = Talk To You Later WB = Welcome Back (you say this when someone returns to a chat room) w/i = With in WTG = Way To Go We also have a few that are exclusive to Gals. Billy Hugs = oUo BOBISOG = Battery Operated Boyfriend In Substitute Of G**** FTB = f**k the bus (this is a term used to describe a really bad day or an exclamation of extreme irritation.)

GJB = Gerard James Buler GRABIT! = Gerry's Rescue All Buttons and Intervention Team HRH = His Royal Hotness Merge = Jinx OMFB = Oh my f**king Butler (similar to OMG) OMFE = Oh my f**king Ethan (if you don't know who Ethan is, check out our fanfiction Ethan & Charlotte) PALS = Paternity of Affiliated Loyal Spouses (Or Significant Others) (This also includes guys in general) SGD = Sweet Gerry Dreams SMMOG = Sweet Margaret Mother of Gerard SSCD = Sweet Scottish Cream Dreams TNLW = Totaly non-lesbian way (usually used after virtual kisses, "I love you" 's or other demonstrations of affection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discoveringme Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for posting those, Mish! There were a few that I hadn't figured out yet. Even with an on-line versed daughter I still needed help!!!! My favorite - OMFB. Didn't know what that one meant. I'm LMAO now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvphantom Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Fantastic Mishw - as for me as a non-native English speaker, that helps a lot. I figured most of them out - but there are a couple I didn't know. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Beanie Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 LOL... great idea, Mish. We should have had this thread ages ago - thanks for doing it! ~Beanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan~Sporran Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 BRAVA Mish - great job with the abbreviations!!! Another that gets used from time to time is GJB (Gerry's initials for the uninitiated), and one that threw me for awhile but is just an additional letter onto one of yours is IRL for In Real Life (usually meaning when GALS have been lucky enough to have a face to face meeting).

kimbo009 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I echo the thanks, Mish! I thought I'd never figure out what it meant when Bethy says "OMFB!" in her posts! It's been driving me crazy, but I didn't want to keep pestering Mods with silly questions. Love "HRH" too! Hugs to all-- Kimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagewomanjen Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Ok, seriously, how funny is it that abbreviation is spelled wrong? I know it wasn't meant to be, but in a weird ironic sorta way..... :bootyshake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef with an F Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I always thought OMFB meant "Oh my fooking Billy" hehehehehehe well some people might not know what GALS and PALS stand for... GALS = Gerry Addicted Lust Syndrome PALS = Paternity of Affiliated Loyal Spouses (Or Significant Others) - which we're going to have to modify soon because I like calling the guy members PALS, but they're not all spouses or sig. others. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
