I have to laugh, I had no clue there were so many of these. Working in the school system they have tons of these too. It's like that commercial about texting where the mom is scolding the daughter about her text use and she says something like, "IDK, my BFF Jill". I predict that someday spelling in schools will prove to be a confusing task! Thanks for listing these! IRNT - - or, I Really Needed That! hee hee.

Those are great. I had NO clue. I heard one you can add. While I was in the gyn. office I overheard a VERY pregant mom say "the nurse told me I had TOBPS". Her husband asked her what that meant and she said "Tried of Being Pregnant Syndrome". I thought that was great! I would definintely say I had that with my youngest.

Does DH still apply if he's not being such a "dear" at the moment?
