What the hell does that mean?

My fiance handed me a card to sign this weekend, and when I looked down to sign it I spied a smiley face. Yep, she drew a smiley face next to her signature. Does that mean I have to draw a super hero or something next to my name? You’ll be happy to know I made men everywhere proud and just signed by name. But it got me thinking about all the “cute” things like that women put when they are writing in letters or emails. By now most of us guys have figured out this -à : )  (if you look at it with a crooked neck) means a smile in an email. Most of the other “faces” you can figure out by looking at it with a crooked neck…and even if you don’t figure it out chances are she isn’t going to drill you on if you understood what all the “faces” in her last email meant (if you get a girl like this, run!). But what about all those letter combinations they use? Now those can be tricky! And sometimes those can mean something you should know about. So, here is a list of some of the more common acronyms used in emails and profiles. Think of it as your cheat sheet.

BBW = Big Beautiful Woman (translation, FAT)

HWP = Height Weight Proportionate ( translation, don’t be fat)

TTYL = Talk to You Later

BRB = Be Right Back

LOL = Laughing Out Loud

LMAO = Laughing My Ass Off

ROFL = Rolling On the Floor Laughing

GF = Girlfriend

BF = Boyfriend

FWB = Friends with Benefits

NSA = No Strings Attached

 

If I’ve missed some, let me know. Enjoy reading their emails with a lot more understanding!
