HATE HATE HATE. It sounds so cutesy. Sex is anything but cutesy, and although I know we sometimes do it trying to make a baby, I prefer not to make it all about that.</p> <p>Also, it reminds me of Ally McBeal. (The dancing baby, which is not sexy at all.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-138602 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:16:43 +0000 daniellemybelle 138602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind when others use it. I know what it means, unlike some baby board terms that are super confusing, so I'm cool with it. But personally, I don't think I would ever use it. Too cutesy for me. Though the "boogie down" definition makes it much more palatable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-138042 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:38:12 +0000 Rosie Girl 138042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crash806: I love boogie down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-138033 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:06:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 138033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>indifferent. I don't get what the big deal is, I don't care. I don't have feelings about it either way. I usually refer to it as intimate time, sexy time or just sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-137678 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:52:22 +0000 Running Elley 137678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really care either way. When we first started TTC I thought it was weird but as I spent more (and more and more) time on the TTC boards I got used to it and end up using it just because it's the norm. I'm the same way with DH, used to hate it but everyone using it kind of wore off on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-137655 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:43:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 137655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care what others do, but personally I think the term baby dance is really dumb. We don't have to have a cutsie term for everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-137645 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:34:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 137645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't like it.

And with an iPhone constantly making mistakes, shorter is better for me. </p> <p>Having said that, write whatever you want. You can also be like hubs and call it "coitus", ala Sheldon Cooper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-seeing-people-say-they-dont-like-the-acronym-bd-but-its-so-popular#post-136438 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:11:38 +0000 cupcakemama 136438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of hate it but handy if using a work computer!<br /> Now boogie down on the other hand, I am totally loving!
