I'm No Good at Acronyms or INGA

WITW?  IDRA, DTMIO?

Translation:  What in the world?  I don't read acronyms, does that mean I'm old?  Part of my job here at HugaMonkey is to be active in forums and "get in touch with the common (wo)man", to take a page from Obama's book.   I cruise sites like Baby Center and see what the peeps are all abuzz about.  And I must confess, it's not easy.

Maybe it's because I've never texted.  Oh, yeah, you read that right.  I don't text.  And I survive just fine, thank you.  Oh, I've got the basics down by now.  BRB, lol, etc.  But some of them are more confusing to a newbie like me.  It took me ages to figure out DCP (day car providor), and people use BC for either birth control, before children, or because.  Now that could be confusing.  Here are some of my favorites:

BFN big fat negative (pregnancy test)

BM either breast milk OR bowel movement.  Maybe you're just better off typing out the whole word, IMHO (in my honest/humble opinion)

BD  baby dance (sex)

GB  get busy (sex)

DTB   down to business (sex)

DTD  do the deed (sex) - it's funny that the acronym is just as long as the word, and takes more syllables to say.

CWIM  see what I mean

POAS  pee on a stick (take a pregnancy test)

This is clearly a very small list.  Some sites have translators that have hundreds of acronyms and abbreviations,  I mean, A&A's.  So, as I usually do when something is weirding me out, I wrote a poem.

Mom, Abbreviated.

While changing my DS today (I don't know how you could CD)

My MS made me CIO and go totally OT.

So DH and DD came TMR with some IC

IMHO they are the best, TWI, OMG.

PG sometimes is NTB, but it's seriously NP

I love being a SAHM, I LOL constantly

IRL it's NBD to just RWTP

ILML, IHF, TTYL, GTG.

*I'll post a translation in the next post if you're completely lost!
