Reality TV World Message Board Forums
PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "you and me both"
aside from some of the sayings I am still working on, I am embarassed to say that I have no idea what the meaning behind "swoop" is.

Can someone please lead the newbie through it?

...'cause it's all about the unitard

3. "RE: you and me both"
Swooping is something that (as far as I know) only occurs on RTVW's OT forum. It's not supposed to happen in any other forums (ask me how I know...).

A swoop is when you make the 69th, 100th, 200th, etc. post to a thread. According to the swoop Nazis, a swoop only counts if it is your first time posting to the thread.

Hope this helps!

This may help a little bit, they are just standard e-mail abbreviations, however they can be more complex:

Hey tvhead,

I've seen you around OT this week, and I assume that you're getting confused with alot of the abbreviations (and some inside jokes) that you might see there.

Some common ones include DW or DH (which normally refer to Dear Husband or Dear Wife, or sometimes d@mn husband or wife, or might even refer to the one known as Devious Weasel )

Also, there are some common misspellings that you'll see on OT including thresd (instead of thread), lvoe (instead of love) and Poho (which is our beloved Princess Pooh).

One other small suggestion: the majority of posters on this site adhere to proper grammar and punctuation. I would suggest, for clarity of your posts, that you try to adapt to this style if possible.

The best thing to do is just hang out....read a lot more than you post....and be yourself. The OT gang is a great group of people.



Half man, half amazing, all DAW

If you hate punctuation, then you'll get along great with cqvenus.

But you'd better stay away from Coconut - she's a grammar nut!

Hope you're enjoying OT!

10. "Hmph"
I thought I felt my ears burning.

You know, I haven't been into the help forum in easily six months, and this is what I see. Hmpfh.

Seriously, I am a grammar nut, but I promise not to mock anyone's grammar (unless it's Jims, Tech, Stan, or GothMog. I have nerd understandings with them). Feel free to post in peace.
