Ok I don’t know if I am alone on this or not but…
I feel reading some posts i have no idea what they are talking about because i dont know what such and such is.

So my question is what is TPTB (i think thats right) and if you can think of something you think someone else might not get please post it.

We can start a message board dictionary :)!!!

Here are the ones that took me a minute to figure out:

Tptb - The Powers that Be
IMO or IMHO - In my (humble) opinion
OP - Other poster (I think)
ITA - I Totally Agree

I couldn’t for the life of me figure that one out…Thanks!!

IMHO is also read as “in my honest opinion”

OP is sometimes “original poster”

Took me forever to figure out the lingo. Now it seems like 2nd nature and I’m having a hard time thinking of stuff to put here.

Thanks luv, you told me soooo much, some I needed to know and some I never knew I wanted to know. BTW, do you feel alright? You actually, wrote a long post! 8)

^^^ She did not write a LONG post… its called copy and paste. ~)

Hi Mary!

Hi Mary!

Oh, now that makes more sense. I was worried that I had rubbed off on her. SOR Sigh of relief.

Thanks very much for the list of acronyms. I had figured out some of them, but have been baffled by others for ages. Now at last I know what SORAS and ROTFL means.

Not sure if these were mentioned…

OTT: Over the top
OOC: Out of character

OLD = Obessive Liason Disorder

I really need to print these out somewhere so I don’t have to hunt this thread when I don’t catch the board lingo!

Quote LuvingGH: OLD = Obessive Liason Disorder :)

ReallY?

Yep!! For us obsessed fans who can’t, and normally don’t, get enough Liason!!

The way the writers have always yanked those two apart you may never get enough.

come on, that was funny. You either have to be old enough to remember the couple from the beginning to really get them or be willing to go back in time (via YT) to see all those old eppys. I am a proud card carrying member of OLD. Their romance inspires me daily
