I know this will make me look totally stupid but I was told an old Chinese proverb
He that asks the question looks stupid for 5 minutes, he who doesn't ask the question looks stupid for a life time
So with that in mind can anybody please help me with some of the abbreviations that I keep seeing across the boards as Im not understanding some of the threads because I don't know the lingo....

Hi Rainbow, I only stoped lurking in march, I think I'm getting to grips with the forum now, but the abbreviatons still keep fooling me. I Thought LOL meant Lot's of Love:eek:. Sorry Niddy but you had me worried for a moment!. Keep plugging away mate (mate'ess) cos thats another problem I have.Sorry Horace for calling you mate when I should have said Luv. Then again thats another problem Oop North you can say to a fellow whats Oop Luv, say that to a southern girl and you wil get an earfull.
Cheers Rainbow and may your god go with you, handyman123.:)Mother Nature Don't Draw Straight lines, We are Broken Moulds in Life's Grand Design, We look a Mess but we're doing fine,
