Is there a guide for all these acronyms?
My Ignorance | Today | Brainhose

Posted on 09/18/2004 8:02:24 AM PDT by Brainhose

Please pardon my ignorance, but.... Even though I've been using the Net for over 12 years,
I often find myself flummoxed by all the acronyms being used. Is there a good online dictionary
to help feeble old men such as myself.

Which acronyms? I have most of them figured out.

Well, pin a rose on your nose, annie. Most of us would rather choose when to waste time with puzzles.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I'm teasing you, FRiend - "Am I logged in" has a long history on this board. Yes, I saw your post.

~Everything~ will soon have a long history on this board. Hint to the new.... the misspellings are intentional. If they aren't intentional, they soon will be. They don't mean what you think they mean. ;~D

I can understand that you might be frustrated, but there's no call for insults!

How about the rest of us?

Hair? You got infected with this Diarama madness, oh no the horror.

You don't need a guide, you need a diarama!

A little pepto-bismol will clear that up.

All Your Acronyms Are Belong To Us !

Muttly could use some Cheese too!

He will change the frequency of his Beeber just in case there is some left over.

As one old codger to another, I can understand his frustration, and it was a good opportunity to yank your chain.

You think this is bad? I work for a California county, and I think some people in it have only one mission in life: to make up acronyms; sometimes, acronyms for acronyms. My mission in life is to interrupt and ask for the meaning even if I already know. These people are so dedicated that they stay awake nights dreaming this stuff up.

There is no need to be insulting.:)

Welcome to the party. The hazing will continue over the next few week. Don't take it seriously or personally. We are professional smart mouths and sometimes forget that there are people out there that are not acquainted with our often caustic brand of humor.

A half boiled rice / half cottage cheese mixture in the place of his usual food will clear that right up.

As Dolly Parton once said:

"Dumb blonde jokes don't bother me because I know that I'm not dumb. I also know that I'm not blonde."

Quick question, I know what a blog is, but is it an acronym for something? I like to keep up on these things...

Unless he's lactose intolerant, in which case, the diarama will only ~improve~
