Abreviations

[Kitiara]

Hi All,

Is there any place on LB that decodes all the abreviations used on here, I'm sure I am not the only one that thinks WTF when I read CCCA, SAR, DN etc (or maybe it is just me - I am blonde after all LOL) Perhaps if there isn't one, someone could maybe do a sticky so that the newbies (and thickies like me) can have a look and at least work out what some of them mean, so that they don't have to waste time asking in the forum and delaying replies.

Just a thought ....

According to the acronym finder, it can mean "In my honest opinion" or "In my humble opinion". It could also mean "I might harm/hurt others", "I mightily hate ostriches". You can have a lot of fun with acronyms.

Re: Abreviations

And of course there is always WLTDO which is now being used by a number of unscrupulous traders and service providers.

It of course stands for "Who Let The Dogs Out" and it is used in specific reference to LegalBEAGLES by any plaintiff brought to justice by any of our determined patrons.
