Hellobee Boards

I'm not a huge fan of some of the longer "compilations" like FWIW or IMHO just because it took me forever to figure out what they were & still sometimes when I see them it takes me a minute to "read them out". lol

@pui: hahaha AGREE!!!

I prefer to use hubs over DH, but I do use it sometimes. I also don't like DS or DD but I agree they are more clear that just S or D. I think it's the dear/darling part that sounds unnatural to me.

I use a few of them. The only one that ever got me was on WB when people would use STD. haha, it took me forever to figure it out.

@zippylef: I could never bring myself to actually use it, even after I did figure it out! lol

@zippylef: what is STD?! I would google, but don't know how to without coming up with "sexually transmitted disease".

I hate DH, DD, DS. I recently started using DH sparingly, though. I use LO instead of DS. I agree with @mrs. 64: that the dear/darling is just unnatural to me. Who came up with this anyway?

I've also used OMG even though I kind of hate it.

This is more from the days of AIM, but husband and I use "BRB" when we talk to each other in person, ha.

@mrs. 64: These are the ones I don't care for other. The "Dear" part seems so unnatural, but everyone understands it so I use it. I prefer hubs or hubby personally, but I know others that cringe at those terms. I also don't care for LO, but we use it on HB so much.

And STD in wedding-planning? I think everyone gets shocked the first few times they read that online!

@bluestriped bee: ohhh.

I refuse to say DH or DD... Just not my thing...

OMG, WTF! IMHO, FWIW, online lingo is totes amazeballs. LOL, jk!

But seriously, on WB, what does FI actually stand for? I could never figure that one out.

I do use the lingo, though even typing it out makes me feel awkward. Especially "LOL" and I say "SO" because I'm not married yet but as I said, don't really know what FI means?

I just go with DH and dd. It used to really bug me though!

@IRunForFun: FI is fiance

hahah the STD always confused me and I couldn't get over it.

I don't like BD and don't use it. I don't care for DH, DS but I use them anyway.

@Mrs. Pen: I know that it means fiancé, but does it stand for anything. Like, F is for...and I is for...?

@Turtledoves: ; )

Have you seen people abbreviate boobs as bbs? That seems really lazy to me! And I didn't know fingers crossed was FX for awhile.

I have an uncle who thinks LOL is "lots of love" and he signs off all his emails that way.

I'm pretty sure ts just shortened, though I never considered future intended

I hate when ppl use presh for precious. So annoying! And totes for totally. It just sounds like your trying to hard

I use hubs and LO because I hate DH and DD.
