It's "nursing at keyboard", sort of a "forgive any typos" one I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17458 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:28:40 +0000 Penny Lane 17458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, so many!</p> <p>IIRC - if I recall correctly<br /> NTTAWWT - not that there's anything wrong with that (why is there an acronym for this?! has anyone else seen this?)<br /> SMH - shaking my head<br /> OML - oh my lord (I think?)</p> <p>are the main ones I always get stuck on. There's probably more, but I can't remember them now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17327 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:34:20 +0000 MegWag 17327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YMMV means "Your mileage my vary". It sort of means, "you may have a different opinion" or acts as an acknowledgement that personal taste plays a role in ones opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17252 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:19:58 +0000 HabesBabe 17252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I've also seen it this way:</p> <p>^This.</p> <p>Like a little arrow pointing up to the previous comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17134 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:52:37 +0000 BSB 17134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Oh, ok, that makes a little more sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17122 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:16:00 +0000 808love 17122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I think it means shorthand for " THIS .... is what I mean/want to say/think/believe." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-17113 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:57:22 +0000 BSB 17113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On WB, brides have been using the word 'This' in response to something that was said. I never understood it. This what? What does 'This' mean?</p> <p>Example:</p> <p>UserXYZ: Christmas is awesome!</p> <p>UserABC: @UserXYZ: This!</p> <p>I had to use urban dictionary to look it up.

I still remember being a teenager and not knowing what LOL stood for and someone told me it stood for lots of love so I couldnt understand why people would keep using in randomly in sentences!!<br /> It took me a while to figure out what it really meant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-16708 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:20:32 +0000 mediagirl 16708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ok, that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-16705 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:19:23 +0000 mrbee 16705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jbhops: Yah, you use it when you add to a post.

I see it used a lot in posts. It looks like it has something to do with update? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-8946 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:56:27 +0000 MegWag 8946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a hard time remembering what "ffs" meant for the longest time. Every time I saw it, I'd ask my husband. (It means "for f*cks sake"- so British!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-8942 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:53:58 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 8942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyday... clearly I have to google stuff all the time.<br /> I know theres one related to POAS but isn't that exactly. I really suck with acronyms I wish people would actually spell it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internet-acronyms-that-i-didnt-know-for-example-btdt#post-8934 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:48:23 +0000 mrbee 8934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only recently (this week) learned that BTDT = Been There, Done That. You can use it as an adjective too.</p> <p>"Any BTDT parents have insights into sleeptraining?"</p> <p>(At least, I think so. When it comes to using BTDT in a sentence, I haven't BT or DT.)</p> <p>Do you have any internet acronyms that you've only recently learned? Would love to hear them! </p>
