LOL, ROFL and PMSL....

[Kiki-frog]

Can't believe what a numpty I am!

When I started using AB, I was mildly surprised that there were a few people with the unusual name of Tia. I've just posted a question, and signed it off Thanks In Advance - and the penny dropped.

Please, someone else tell me that they've been equally thick. Please?

[EcclesCake]

LMAO :-)

[LoftyLottie]

Hands up!!!! Me too. I haven't noticed it that much, but must admit I thought it was a name!!

Kiki. There are people looking for you (including me) on your Pain Management thread in B&S

[arwyn]

Kiki go to your pain link

[erin-x]

*Titterfarkle* :-)

I text my mum once and put 'btw'... She thought I was drunk!!

[andy-hughes]

Me too - all my texts are spelled and punctuated correctly. Spelling and grammar were taught to me, and they are habbits I cannot break.

Can't say the same for typos though!!

My hubby thought our son had a girlfriend called LOL as every time he went in to our son's bedroom he saw LOL on the computer screen.

[Prudie]

Not on here but as a girl I remember thinking how this girl 'Jackie Fan' kept getting her letters published.

[naomi24]

Don't worry about it. I never know what all those funny initials mean. :o/

[pusskin]

Your not the only numpty kiki, I also thought tia was a name.

Never crossed my mind to question it haha

What does tia stand for then?

[LoftyLottie]

Funnily enough Andy, my son, who is nearing 29 refuses to use text speak at all, and punctuates all his texts correctly. Strange in a younger person. I don't use it either. My best friend does and I don't know what she is talking about.

I do use LOL and ROFL on AB, but that's about it

[LoftyLottie]

pusskin - Read Kiki question and you will see what it means!! ha, ha!!!

[pusskin]

ON NO The penny has just dropped reading your post again kiki. LOL

[LoftyLottie]

Never mind pusskin. It's our age!!! It takes a long while for pennies to drop x

March 22nd - Numpty-Night.

What fun....

We all get caught out by expressions....

[DTCwordfan]

Pennies are now taxable.

[LoftyLottie]

:o) DT

[mrs_overall]

For the more mature AB'ers, BTW means "Bring The Wheelchair"

[paddywak]

Like Andy I too write any text I in "proper" English though I must admit I do make some mistakes. My nieces youngest confessed to her mum she likes to text me because my replies are like getting a real letter.

[tenrec]

Agree with Kiki, for ages I wondered why so many people's real names were signed with Tia!

[Kiki-frog]

DT - can we henceforth make March 22 officially Numpty Night and therefore a Bank Holiday?
