LAMummy, I just google any of these if I don't already know what they mean.  Must admit, sometimes I do get a bit of a shock at what I find there  :o :o

Definitely - we are outnumbered so be careful and think about how you are going to word your statements

Hopefully out in the kitchen where she belongs cooking my food, unless she's hanging out the washing - that's OK too.  :o

 ;) ;) ;)  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I used to text a female friend and would put LOL on it, she one day turned around and asked why I would send lots of love  ;D :D :o. She was definitely embarrassed when I explained its actual meaning I was ROTFLMAO with her response

You're a bit late for April Fools Judy...

My son, who plays online games regularly, actually walks around the house saying LOL, ROFL and a few others. Seems like internet/SMS shortcuts will be the new English soon.

It's not strange at all depending on the persons personality, coming from me it would come across a strange. I am not 1 to openly show my affection unless it is for my hubby, kids and my animals.

I don't openly talk in abbreviation, only when typing. I wish DH would use acronyms his spelling so atrocious lol, its a talent just to decipher his writing, and no he isn't a Dr lol

Russell.

Don't you mean the SWMBO? LOL- She Who Must Be Obeyed ? :D

Great list of abbreviations - I must admit I was having trouble with EDC and EEVO (which I thought was an oil brand  :-[)

Hi. Can we please add the following to the official list of Acronyms / Abbreviations? I would not like people to get the wrong impression:

FUIC = Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

It's an Aussie male thing available every where in Oz. Think it may also be sold in NZ as well.
