After visiting that website with all those internet acronyms, I realize there are a lot more of them than I thought. Since my typing skills are good, I think I'll avoid a lot of confusion and just type everything out. It doesn't really take much longer to do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-595259 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:47:50 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 595259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it would be easier if we all just typed things out? </p> <p>:-P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-595245 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:25:29 +0000 HelenInCanada 595245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OTT - Over The Top!</p> <p>I was about to direct you to the same thread that Inge's pointed out!

It means "In my not-to-be-questioned opinion," and is used only with people who know I'm kidding with them. I'm really not the type of person to force my opinions on others. I willingly share what I think with those who care to know, but don't want anyone ever to think I'm not tolerant of others' rights to differ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-594158 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:33:21 +0000 ManidipaM 594158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: Edited to Add :-p</p> <p>TMGO: Too Much Going On (the bad brother of ALGO)</p> <p>(W)OTG: (Woman) On-the-Go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-594149 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:55:16 +0000 Louise 594149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eta edited to add </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-594137 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:52:21 +0000 harmonica 594137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great!

Is that when you feel that you've sort of covered up how you feel like smashed tomatoes with a good outfit?</p> <p>UWP - how can you describe this style? Would it be adding roughness and "industrial" elements to an outfit that could be perceived as cute? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acronyms-for-dummies#post-594132 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:29:07 +0000 lyn* 594132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF You look fab! &lt;3</p> <p>haha; man.
