Commonly used abbreviations

Post by Marsha »

I thought it was time to develop a vocabulary:

Please copy and paste with your additions, corrections, and historical facts, for the sake of posterity:

Norman = started by _________ as a mistyping of "normal". Norman has now become the standard for normal, pre-MC bowel movement. ie, 'Norman visited my house today'. He is notoriously fickle.

:arrow: Margie help!
Elvis= _____(photo) hurling, puking, barfing: calling for Elvis on the big white phone. Named because of the "lip thing" he has going on.

Mona Lisa = picture perfect frame-able poop

OMG = Oh My God

ROTFLMAO = Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

:arrow: Wayne & Peggy help!
Bonk, or THE GAVEL = for political correctness and historical accuracy, equal time should be given for the the Republican (Wayne) explanation, and the Democratic (Peggy) rebuttal:
*R -
*D - this application in used on the rare occasion that Wayne requires a gentle reminder. He also has his own custom engraved gavel at home should he require self-administration.

IOW = in other words

IMHO = in my humble opinion

LOL = lots of laughs, or laugh out loud

BTW = by the way

TTYL = talk to ya later

FM = founding member of this website (all of US - YAY!)

MI = mutliply-intolerant

GF, DF, SF, CF, YF = (in order) gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free, yeast-free

Help somebody - - - - :arrow:
The different kinds of MC poops - battery acid, loosy goosy, bullets, soft-serve, and I forget the name of the one that looks fine until you flush and then it disappears into a cloud of dust (does anyone remember who named it - was it Dee?). I don't think any of these require further definition if you are an MCer! LOL!

D = diarrhea

All my best, friends, Marsha :wave:

Either one works for me! :lol:

BTW = By the Way
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha

More......

TTYL - talk to ya later

FM - founding member of this website (all of US - YAY!)

MI - mutliply-intolerant

GF, DF, SF, CF, YF, etc.

The different kinds of MC poops - battery acid, loosy goosy, bullets, soft-serve, and I forget the name of the one that looks fine until you flush and then it disappears into a cloud of dust (does anyone remember who named it - was it Dee?). I don't think any of these require further definition if you are an MCer! LOL! :wink:

D - diarrhea

D & D - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No, I don't think we want to list them!

Seriously, great idea! Should we list our abbreviations in the newbie room or under FAQs? BTW, it was Barbaranoela who called a normal BM Norman. Maybe Peg can find the original post on Sally's board and bring it here!

Love,

Polly
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

The origins of NORMAN:

It was BarbaraNoela's typo! We all saw it and collapsed laughing and it just stuck.

Thanks, again, Miss BN!
