Acronyms for the Newbs

future-mrs

Since it's late and I'm bored...and there might be a chance of some bored-ness elsewhere, help a Knottie newb out.  I've dealt with forums and whatnot before and I'm a WoW player but every thing has it's acronyms lol...I've got most of them on my own.  Anyways, post 'em up if ya think of some that are used a lot please!  So far, I'm wondering what BSC, P&E, KUI and P&R is???

TIA ladies!!!!!  Sorry for annoying newb-ness-like posts such as these.

P&R...taking a stab and just gonna say Puppies and Rainbows?  Which seriously makes me LOL given some of the threads around here...

JessAndTrav

BSC = Bat Shiit Crazy
P&E or (P&)E = Planning & Etiquette. This board used to be called Planning and Etiquette and is now just Etiquette.
P&R = I really do think it's puppies and rainbows. I wasn't kidding when I mentioned that in the "Anyone Up" thread.

FWIW = For what it's worth.
TIA = Thanks in Advance
KWIM = Know what I mean
ETA = Edit to Add
PW = Post Whore
AW = Attention Whore
STFU = Shut the fuuuck up
DD = Dirty Delete (though that's not really an issue anymore...)
IMHO = In my honest opinion
IMO = In my opinion.

If you click FAQ there's lots of acronyms. Most of what I mentioned isn't on the list.

JessAndTrav

KUI = Knotting Under the Influence

Puppies and Rainbows this board is not.

Yeah, I did read the FAQ's   I read that a LOOOONG time ago but there a few missing.  But that helps out A LOT.  Thank you.  I'm trying to think of a few more...maybe help some more newbs out like myself.

NMS-Not my style

I'll just have to edit my post because that's the only damn one I can think of at the moment.

JessAndTrav

S/O = Spin Off
SO = Significant Other
FFF = Flame Free Friday
TK = The Knot
TN = The Nest
TB = The Bump (or tuberculosis)
NWR = Not Wedding Related
WR = Wedding Related

Sometimes if you use the context clues you can figure them out.

As in...January 13?

future-mrs

Yeah, most of them aren't too hard but occasionally I'm like, seriously, WTF does that mean?!  WoW has probably some of the most ridiculous acronyms and terms...I learn at least a dozen nwe ones every time I play.  :-P

Lately WW has been coming up. That's either Wedding Wire or Wedding Woes.

Wedding Wire is another website with forums that recently stirred up ridiculous 'drama' and Wedding Woes is one of the national boards here.

future-mrs

DED?  I think you posted that one and I just caught it.

Swear I'm not stalking....

I don't know if it actually stands for anything, but it's used when something is funny and you'd say something like, "OMG, I'm dying laughing.'

FFS?  Wow, we'll have our own huge list momentarily.  They definitely need to update the Knot's FAQ list...

JessAndTrav

For Fucks Sake

future-mrs
