Full list of abbreviations

Allgold78, 7 August, 2010 at 20:30 Posted on Planning 0 48

Thought we could have this for any newbies (and oldies) to refer to. I'll get it started but let me know if I can add to it:

  • OT - Off topic
  • OH - Other half
  • BM - Best man or Bridesmaid
  • CBM - Chief bridesmaid
  • MOH - Maid/Matron of Honour
  • SIL/BIL/MIL/FIL - Sister.../brother.../mother.../father..... in law
  • H2B - Husband to be
  • IYKWIM - If you know what I mean
  • IYSWIM - If you see what I mean
  • Tog - photographer
  • HIB - Hitcher in business
  • WWYD - What would you do
  • WSS - What she said
  • WEES - What everyone else said
  • N&P - Name and praise
  • TBH - To be honest
  • TIA - Thanks in advance
  • RAHK - Random act of Hitched kindness
  • PSA - Public service announcement
  • HTH - Hope that helps
  • Troll - someone fake on Hitched
  • STD - Save the date
  • IMO - in my opinion
  • (sp) - not sure if spelling is correct
  • HRML - hitched rules my life!
  • AIBU- Am I Being Unreasonable.
  • IIRC- If I Remember Correctly
  • VOG - videographer
  • ER - engagement ring
  • WR - wedding ring
  • PIL - Parents in law
  • FPIL - Future parents in law
  • OM - old marrieds

How do we make this a sticky??

    (sp) is usually put after a word if the hitcher is not sure of the spelling.

    It means Old Married - refers to the married people on here that are obviously sharing their wealth of experience ?

    Also, whats a "sticky" ? is it one of the perminent posts at the top?!

    Haha, well done Mrs, like the use of OT there! I'm not really sure about the hearts tbh. You've got sticky right though, it will 'stick' to the top of the board.

    I have had a reply but still doesn't make sense so waiting for another one!!!

    Anybody can "heart" a thread, so it's just if someone feels it's worth putting hearts to! Sometimes people will heart pointless ones, so other people mark them down so the average number of hearts goes down ifswim.

    Thanks you! I had worked out most but the one that was driving me up the wall was N&P!!! Could not work what that stood for at all and I was too embarrassed to ask!
