Enlighten me I see often DH DM stuff like this.. I am sure its short for something that has only so many letters but everyone loves to type Faster.. so can you tell me what those things mean? I got LOL LMAO off but not being a chat room regular even on general topics I wonder what the heck are they talking about? (I know I am older than dirt but surely there is an easy answer to all this).

Hope this helps and if it is wrong then I am more lost than you are lol

I had one that's so parents have a clue what their kids are saying, i.e. Parents In Room. It might take me a while to find that one, but this should help.

(I don't know most of them either....)

Thank you very much. I couldnt keep up with my 18 yr old she types 125 wpm so it would be on and gone before I could see it. I think I would rather not keep up regardless.. bad enough I see what everyone writes on her facebook. Yipes. thanks for clarifying the DH DM .. I was thinking domestic husband? but what about married partners or live in partners or boyfriends so then there must be a zillion other little short cuts. I will book mark that site posted so I can keep up with the rest of the bears!

Elisabrat, I had to ask what some of the "letters" meant also. I just check out the site that redkimba gave. Boy there sure are a lot of them. Guess I'll stay in the dark before I try to remember all those.

I'm too old for most of this! :? I try to keep up with new stuff, but there is so much that is new!

All the ones referring to stash apply to me.

I'm relatively open about most of the things I do - my fabric acquisitions isn't one of them.
