graemeaylward Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi, as a relative newcomer to this site, I am bemused by all the different abbreviations used in posts. For example I see LOS used a great deal but have no idea what it means. There are many other frequently used abbreviations which clearly mean something to other posters but nothing to me. Is there a glossary somewhere please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, your command of the English language, as demonstrated by your use of the word "bemused" is far above that of many posters, who would conclude you think BG, or GF is funny. Secondly, you admit when you don't know something. Goodness, that puts you far above most posters. Thirdly, your name is quite annoying.

David48 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 IMHO In my humble opinion. I reckon that's used sparingly on the Forum ... BTW ... one smilie I'm yet to see used in context ... So, on balance, it seems we are a fairly opinionated lot who rarely say sorry? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) abbreviations it is getting more difficult to understand everything these days, I spend more time on Google trying to find out what people are talking about.. even like on TV I killed my BFF, another on TV BFFLTDDUP + loads more. why cannot people just say or write it in full ? As for text messages these days, no idea just press delete simple. Lots of us have not been to school for 50 years, back then these abbreviations were not used or mobile phones for that matter.. As for LBFMPBR No will not print it here use Google it tells you and maybe get you suspended on here... Edit: OK right it has just dawned on me.........Crossy post.... And anyone who posts the meaning of this WILL get a holiday! Edited November 8, 2013 by ignis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumpled Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Surely many of you old folk must remember L.O.N.D.O.N. and S.W.A.L.K. amongst many other abbreviations that were in use before the iternet was even thought of? AFAIK Any decent search engine will do and they every bit as good as the G one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
