Common Abbreviations in the Pond

Thought I would start this thread for those that may not know what some of the abbreviations we commonly use mean.

To start with

LOL - laugh(laughing) out loud
FSRM - Fin Slaps(slapped) Red Message (the lovely message that pops up if you don't wait long between posts

Feel free to add along here LOL

someone today said
LMFO = Laughing My Fins Off


and thanks for this thread. will save me lookin' like a dumbfish by askin' all the time.

Thanks sometimes I don't know the abbreviations used in the pond

I've seen a lot of fishies inquiring so I thought it would be good LOL



FSRM!!@!!#%^&$^*IU#%^#

Take that you message and that.. and a little of THAT too LOL

I commonly seen one in here as well is PIMP which basically translates to peeing in my pants LOL

ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing
Add PIMP to that for extreme hilarity. lol


oh and one I've learned and started using recently
MF = My Friend
MDF = My Dear Friend

figured I'd bump it once in case anyone wants to add anything LOL

btw bumping means to basically move it to the top (in case anyone didn't know)

here's one I use in mail a lot

no msg = there's no message inside the mail. Just acknowledging the mail you sent me.

FWIW = For what it is worth
IMO = In my opinion

good ones

one for the parents
POS = Parent Over Shoulder
PIW = Parent Is Watching

Suz you might not want to use the abbreviation for parent over shoulder in the forum because that's more commonly known as something else. Our dear Picman actually said in a post that it would probably be considered bad language. Just an fyi.. If you want to know what it is more commonlly known as PM me.

Okay but since I defined it I don't think he'll mind. I only posted it for parents so they'd be on alert if they see their child type it.

Thanks for the tip too.


And I know what it means.............

Point Of Sale! lol

no I don't think he'd mind but I just thought I'd put that out there in case anyone wanted to use it in our pond LOL

Ahhhhhhh I see okay. Thought ya were "spankin" me. Not literally of course. lol


BTW thanks for makin me feel welcome here.

Sometimes it seems like I'm interrupting and even though I know y'all "big fish" don't feel that way Is just me though,bein' dumb I know.

I don't have a DH (is that dear hubby?) sometimes the way it's used I still get confused I'd love to see the explanation for that one.

I've seen OB (Old Broad I think) and IMHO (In my Humble opinion?).

Not sure there's not too many I don't know, and only a few I have to think about and probably a few that go over my head.

Thanks for this post I love reading it!

chime yep ya got em all.

I have to ask a lot of times. I know most the ones commonly used in chat rooms but some here are new to me.

took me a bit to figure out what DD,DS,DH and the like were .. until I saw it typed out

dear daughter, dear son and dear husband I believe

Suz you are welcome. We're all a bunch of fun loving fishies. Don't feel like you are interrupting. Sometimes there are several convos going at the same time and a comment you made might have been lost is all.

I wouldn't spank any fish LOL.. That's the mods jobs.. I try to get there before the spanking LOL

lol I know. I said it was just me. sometimes it's a lil hard to jump into the chat for me that's all. It's not anythin anyone has done or said as everyone here is nice as can be.
