Acronyms

I keep getting confused because on my breastfeeding communities, EBM stands for expressed breastmilk, but on my BPAL communities, it stands for Enraged Bunny Musk.

Try expressing the wonders of cognitive therapy by telling folks you know that the CBT is really helping you manage your anger.

*laughs* Right.

Piet was trying to read the Diaperswappers thread over my shoulder the other day. He didn't understand one word in three because of all the acronyms. I've now figured out what they refer to, but I'm still not entirely sure what all of them mean. Members of the posters family will be "dh, ds, dd" for "husband, son, daughter", but I don't know what the "d" is for yet.

It's "dear".

I thought that might be it. I prefer to type things out most of the time - it's less likely to leave newcomers struggling to figure out the lingo.

Is it kinda like the "DPO" acronym for house renovators? Where the D can mean two different things, depending on mood?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've seen that alternate as well. :P

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Yes. Dear or Damn, depending on context.

I think Enraged Bunny Musk might be something needed in Fimbulwinter Knights...

Hee hee! I know what you mean. I get acronym confusion a lot. Even within the parenting community, BM can be breastmilk or bowel movement, which can REALLY cause some funny misunderstandings. ;)
