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."

"Acronym Help!!!"
OK, I know I am not the only one who doesn't know what all of the acronyms mean around here (right Bucky?). Could someone please let me in on all of the inside acronyms used on SB? I have figured out a few, like LOL (laugh out loud) and even OMH (oh my heck). But I've seen a bunch around that I don't have a clue about. Please help! If you can think of any other "inside" type things that go on around here that you can let me in on I would appreciate that also. Thanks y'all!!

Hrm, there used to be a very comprehensive post here, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Here is a link to Dabo's post incompassing peeps, gufu, and the like:

http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID33/16.shtml

LOL however isn't a Blows acronym but is common across the web, like ROFL and IIRC. Here is another link that gives a pretty comprehensive web acronym list.

http://www.tangled.com/acronyms.htm

Edited to add a link to what I think is the most comprehensive internet listing with more than 20,000 acronyms

The Acronym Database

If you need something that isn't in one of these places, give us a shout.

(G) is grin or *grin* which is a lot like
(and is often meant to convey that you shouldn't take it too seriously when that is exactly what you should do) (G)

The only place I could find TVM used is in this post by steven where it seemed to have something to do with the Hong Kong subway system. You might ask him.

I can't find any reference to TWF here or on the web so I'm clearly out of my element there. Good luck.

Oh, I hate Web acronyms, even though I use them. A few comments:

1) steven's use of TVM was short for "TV Monitor" and is not related to the common Web acronym for "Thanks Very Much".

2) We used OMG (Oh My God) a lot because Jerri and Amber said it constantly during S2. It was mostly replaced with OMH (which you know) thanks to Neleh during S4.

3) And then, of course, there is the SAC (Silas Asinine Comment) Tracker, invented by dangerkitty, which was originally a derivative of shakes' OMG Counter but which has inspired a number of other "counting" devices.

4) One that I use a lot in summaries (and that is relatively easy to decipher) is WTF?, meaning "What the F--k?"

5) Good luck! If you come up with new questions, post 'em here.

Hi, Papa Bear! I just saw this thresd and thought I would respond.

From Tech Noir's link: TVM = "Thanks Very Much" and
TWF = "That Was Fun"

From the book of Survivor 5:3: Too bad Jed won't win enough money to buy himself a personality.

HH means "holding hands" like if you are in an online relationship.
