    Don't know if this has been done before but there are so many abbreviations in some posts and I don't have a clue what they are.
    Could we put them all somewhere, like a dictionary we can refer back to it if we get stuck :D

    Wtf - what the f*ck
    Btw - by the way
    Imo - in my opinion
    Imho - in my honest opinion
    Afaik - as far as I know
    Lol - laughing out loud
    Rofl - rolling on floor laughing
    Idgaf - I dont give a f*ck (im guessing)

    On parenting fora I believe they use DH as shorthand for dick head.

    Very true actually, but I get sick of explaining that to people so I just STFU and go along with it :D

    From my small experience in family law matters I'd imagine that is a phrase that is used rather frequently in the parenting forum :D
