***?

That I understand without reading for a year before I joined

To all who don't understand
Give it another year or so and the DIS will start to make sense!

 

[CheshireCat]

Sometimes it just feels like it's a secret club like CLUB 31 or something.....with all the abbreviations, it's like we aren't meant to be in the know unless we're in the club.

 

[bababear_50]

ah no I was doing so good ,,Hmmm ok I'll ask what's BG ???
I know it has to be a restaurant.I figured out the other ten abv.

I totally understand how you feel and I've been here almost 2 years now!

 

[DisDaydreamer]

Now THAT'S Funny!

I'm very glad this question was posted, because I have a really hard time with abbreviations on this site. When I found this site, I had to skip some of the trip reports because I couldn't understand most of it. So I'm always relieved when someone else is as clueless as I am!

Sorry Deb, but it does appear that "Ressie" is on the official abbreviation list. It does not appear this abbreviation will be going away soon.

Notice how I didn't use any abbreviations when I posted to you (except for your name of course).

 

[Deb & Bill]

Well, if ressie can make the official list, then I'm gonna work my butt off to get appy and workie added, too.

 

[castleri]

ah no I was doing so good ,,Hmmm ok I'll ask what's BG ???
I know it has to be a restaurant.I figured out the other ten abv.

My guess is Biergarten but I could be wrong

 

[wilma-bride]

Well, I'd advise those of you who don't like "ressie" to stay away from the Brits

I was gonna stay out of this completely but, being 'a Brit' felt I had to comment on some of the statements in your post:

They make pictures into "picsies"

It's actually piccies

"slippers are "baffies"

I have no idea who calls them baffies - they are just slippers to me

a sausage is a "banger"

Only if you're from up North

I agree that the World would be a dull old place if we all spoke the same - you say tom-a-to, I say tom-ah-to and all that

 

[Olaf]

I have no idea who calls them baffies - they are just slippers to me

That one was courtesy of my Scottish Great Gran. She was from Inverness. Perhaps it is regional.

 

[CheshireCat]

Did anyone say 'to each their own' yet? BLAH!!

 

[jarestel]

Did anyone say 'to each their own' yet? BLAH!!

That would be good, but most often the prevailing sentiment here is "to each my own".

 

[DeeCee735]

Well, I'd advise those of you who don't like "ressie" to stay away from the Brits. They make pictures into "picsies", a postman into "postie", slippers are "baffies", a sausage is a "banger", an umbrella is a "brolly", rubber boots are "wellies", etc. I could go on and on.

Aye, it would be a wonderful world if we all spoke exactly alike, lest we annoy anyone.

Well said! I like em all!

Scary - I've only been on disboards a few months now and I understood that sentence...

 

[TCPluto]

Sorry Deb....

Notice how I didn't use any abbreviations when I posted to you (except for your name of course).

I think that's, game, set, match.

The irony of it all....
