I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent educated woman, but I must tell you I'm having a heck of a time learning what all the letters mean.

CUR

BTW

DD

DW

and on and on.

Is there a dictionary available? Can someone please help me. I don't even know if it is specific to this forum or is standard for all forums. This is my first forum.

Any clues you can pass on it would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm losing some of the meaning in these threads.

Thanks!

This site is one of many. I have to refer to it often to figure out what people are saying.

The one that always baffled me was LOL, which I understand means Lord oh Lord!

I am sure there are more, but this thread has covered the major ones.

It's simply Thanks In Advance.......................jan

Brad, I was LOL at your TTYL definition!!! :P:P

Too funny!

I think we all ought to make up our own, just for this forum! Some would be very easily understood by Cairn owners:

BP.....brat puppy!

DDD.....darn destructive dog! Or another expletive if it suits you better!

WWIEE....when will it ever end??? That's the one I would use quite often!!!

my upright is going through some sort of stage

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.

My favorite I think is the OMG = (Oh my God) - Yes, when there's nothing else to do other than shake your head in disbelief....
