FMIL-Random

I know I don't post regularly but I do lurk a lot.
So this is really random, but when you read the forums do you ever read FMIL and think it says FML?

Like I would read "Shower etiquette-FMIL" as "Shower Etiquette- F-My Life"

Maybe its because secretly I don't like planning. I just want to show up!

    Personally, the one I struggle the most with is "STD."  I know it stands for save-the-date, but I still get stuck on it every time I see it.

    Mine's BM for Bridesmaid.  BM means bowel movement.  It took me a long time to get over that one.

    <div>This is the one that always gets me.  Even if I'm actually in a wedding mindframe and I don't intially think Bowel Movement, I have to reread the context so i don't say Brides Maid when its supposed to be Best Man</div>

    All of the above are confusing. I'll use BM because it's easy, but I have to change my mindset for this website. Remind myself that it's all wedding-related, and not medical (bowel movement or the other STD).

    STD always gets me too. Sometimes I type things all the way out just because otherwise the acronyms get me confused while writing my own post!

    The STD gets to me, too. Especially when you see the thread titles... I need help with my STDs! I didn't mean to give them an STD! How do I take it back? Are STDs a good idea? I regret my STDs. AW my STDs! My FI doesnt like the STD I chose! Anyone else not like STDs?

    I knew I liked you for a reason, Chels.

    I'm the same way with BM and STD especially.

    I agree. FMIL to me also means FML.

    I'm used to it now but did initially read it in my head as FML.  BTW, what does PIP stand for? I can't seem to figure that one out.
