The DIS abbreviation thread!

[Kimberly]

Is there anyone else on here besides me that does not understand over 90 percent of the abbreviations that many DISers use? I get the fairly simple two letter ones, but many are just very hard to get. With nearly 1000 posts, I still cannot believe that I do not understand a majority of them...

I figured I would just start a reference thread so people who are against abbreviations so we can understand your threads!

Can we sticky this thread too? Please?

Goodness, me too.

I can usually figure out the 3 or 4 letter ones, but I have a lot of trouble with the two letter ones.

At least there aren't any one letter ones.

I saw this one real recently and my initial reaction was... what does that mean! It is MNSSHP or something like that....

I think there is an official DIS board abbreviation list somewhere.

How do you figure these out!? It really boggles my mind. I can write a mechanism in enzymatic kinetics but I cannot understand a simple abbreviation!

Sometimes I try that and they aren't even on there
And then I get annoyed because I really can't figure it out. hehe.

There's a sub-board for it at the top of the Community Board, if you wanna check it out.

Your Mileage May Vary =O

I know what it means, but I don't know what the acronym is supposed to stand for.

That would be: YAGE

Oh, wait... Yet Another Grand Exit?

Did I get it???

Now that I know what it stands for, I still don't get how some posters are using it!

I use that one a lot - it's basically "I see it this way, you may see it differently".

Comes from the car commercials - "22 city, 30 highway, your mileage may vary"

Woohoo!!!!!

BTW, it's 6:15 CST, almost dark outside, and my windows are still open.

Just thought I'd give you a little update, because I know you've been worrying about me.
