Please what is NMS?

I’ve searched for a list of acronyms and tried to use the FAQ questionnaire, but I’m getting nowhere. Thanks.

Not my Style :slight_smile:

Any others you need help with?

That’s the only one I’ve noticed so far. :slight_smile: Thanks!!

PP is previous poster right?

Yeah pp = previous poster

DH = dear husband
DW= dear wife
DS = dear son
DD = dear daughter
PP= previous poster
NMS= Not My Style
[name]IMO[/name] = In My Opinion
TBH = to be honest

Those are all the ones I see used on here, just so there won’t be any questions. :slight_smile:

Oh my gosh, I’ve been so frustrated trying to figure out the DH, DS, DD thing. I know all the others, but for some reason, I just could not get those. Like, I assumed it meant husband, son, and daughter, but I just could not for the life of me figure out what the D in front of them meant. Thanks:)

Also, with this being a name board, I thought I’d mention that FN, MN, LN, and NN all mean first, middle, last, and (nick) name respectively.

I’ve also seen OP for “original post” or “original poster,” and FWIW for “for what it’s worth.”

LOL! Me too. I was always trying to figure what the d was for. I know dh,etc was referring to Husband, daughter, etc. So thanks Dantea:)

A variant of [name]IMO[/name] (In My Opinion) is IMHO, which is In My Humble Opinion.
[name]IRL[/name] = In Real Life
BTW = By The [name]Way[/name]

I know that LOL doesn’t mean lots of love but that is what I read every time I see it, so once and for all what does it mean!

LOL is “laugh out loud”. I’ve also seen my younger cousins writing LUL on facebook, which apparently means “lame uncomfortable laugh”. Yikes!

Thanks for that, so I will read ‘that is funny’ in future, right?

[name]Glad[/name] I was not the only one! Haha

I sometimes use FI to say fiance… habit from another forum :wink:

Sorry if mentioned but TBH is To Be Honest

and while we’re on this topic I’ve also seen IIRC on the forums, which i think means If I Recall Correctly. Correct me if I’m wrong…

The only one I couldn’t figure out is TTC, I think I just did though. Is it Trying to Conceive?

Yep, it is Trying To Conceive. Oh, the trials and tribulations of a name board!

It’s stupid to put a D in front of S, D, H, etc. Why can’t everybody just say S, D, and H?
