Stupid Question

SpartanCat

Hey guys, I have a really stupid newbie question. I'm having fun bouncing around from board to board reading all these neat hints and conversations but I keep stumbling on acronyms that I don't understand. The obvious ones I get -FMIL, MOH, FI etc. I finally figured out PIP. What does DD mean? WR, WC, or AYG? Or AW? You need a dictionary sticky!! lol

If anyone could help it would be appreciated. I wasn't sure what board to put this on but you all seem very friendly.

DD = Dirty Delete
WR = Wedding Related
AW = Attention Whore

I don't remember the others... I would need to see them in context. There is a sticky somewhere that details them, though.

ZOMG so helpful, I didn't know that list existed. Thanks guys!!

DD can also mean Dear Daughter, so sometimes you have to look at the context.

SpartanCat

That makes sense. That's how I figured out most of them but I was stumped on a few.

Thanks everybody!

DD - Dirty Delete. It's when a poster deletes their post(s).
WR - wedding-related. (NWR is non-wedding-related.)
WC - wedding coordinator
AYG - air your grievances (Snarky Brides board)
AW - attention whore

You didn't list these, but...

FFF - Flame Freely Friday on the Etiquette board.
UO - unpopular opinion
II - irrational irritation

Edit: I'm late posting. Sorry for repeats. Someone came over to chat with me while I was typing this.

I've been floating around here and there for a little while and I wasn't sure what some of them were either.

Thanks!
