    I feel like a goof ball even posting it but...

    So I've been buzzing around all the posts and I'm trying to get hip to the lingo....but I still haven't figured out a few things....

     

    SIL- what is that?

     

    and there are totally other words I haven't figure out...

    but I can't remember...

    I figure out FI, FH, SO,

     

    Help me Bees!

    Also, I'm pretty sure that there's a post here that explains a lot of them... of course, I can't direct you to it...

    I had the hardest time figuring out OOT (out of town). Sometimes I wish people would just type out the words instead of abbreviating...

    ... Don't feel silly asking for help! I messaged bees out of the blue if I thought they could answer a question in my first days. I am still pretty new but feel free to message me if you have more questions but don't want to start a new thread in the future. Also, welcome!

    (I am also a super slow typer apparently and a bunch of bees beat me to it, but still, private message if you need anything!)

    Yeah--OOT took a while to figure out. Context helped, though!

    There are definitely some that I dont get either!  However, I can not think of any right now!  hahaha.

    FI-fiance

    SO-significant other (i think)

    FH-future husband (think....)

    I'm kind of going off on a tangent here but I hate some of the abbreviations! Hahaha!

    For some reason, I can't stand using FI for fiance. I just like to call him "the boy."

    I don't like saying "STD" because, well, you know. And I hate saying "BM" because that's what I called a poop when I was little!

    @ Dana I also refer to my boy as the boy!  That's how I refer to him in conversations sometimes too.  I'm glad I'm not the only one!

    Took me a while to figure out "b-pics". I thought they were not so great quality pics like b-movies and was wondering why people were proclaiming this with such enthusiasm.
