MishW Report post 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.

discoveringme Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvphantom Report post 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. :: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beanie Report post Posted February 2, 2006 LOL... great idea, Mish. We should have had this thread ages ago - thanks for doing it! ~Beanie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan~Sporran Report post 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 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stef with an F Report post 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. :: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
