    Default Short Cuts

    I get very confused when reading some peoples posts as they seem to cut words down into ( i dont know what they are called!!!!:confused: )

    eg Bandsaw is now BS
    tablesaw is TS etc etc.

    I figured out what most of these things are.

    One that I would like to know is what SWMBO stands for. I figured out it means your wife.

    Please less of these short cuts.

    PS I failed english in high school.

    Did well at wood and metal work though!!

    Santa Clause, while out on the street ringing his bell, was visciously attacked by a "lady of the night".
    The paramedic who attended him gave him this advice, "When somebody walks past, particularly a street girl, you are supposed to say 'Ho Ho Ho', not just 'Ho'.

    Hi Legin,
    I can sympathise with you, all that LOL and BTW etc stumped me for a while too. I thought there might be some list of acronyms on this forum but only come up with this thread: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...light=acronyms
    There is a link to somewhere else, but straying off this safe house is asking too much now*. You can find out all you need to know, and lots you don't .

    Cheers,

    IMHO (in my mumble opinion) FIGJAM (f**k I'm good just ask me) and the GOAT (greatest of all time)!

    I remember my teacher telling me not to act the goat.....Gee, all that practise really paid off.

    Not quite - SWMBO originated earlier in Haggard's novel "She". An earlier post contains a little more detail.

    Not only share the guilt but PS = Postscript.

    and PPS = Post postscript.
