Here are my interpretations:</p> <p>1. Poison eye has a negative connotation, sugar eye is its opposite. So I, for example, have a poison eye for dropped crotches (hate 'em), and a sugar eye for asymmetry.</p> <p>2. Hot mess is definitely more of a steamy pile of dog vomit mess, rather than an attractive mess, in my mind.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985487 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 22:50:21 +0000 Anonymous 985487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poison eye means you have a bias against something and can't view it objectively. Sugar eye is the opposite :)</p> <p>Yes hot mess is not a good thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985455 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:56:30 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 985455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kept thinking MOTG was 'mother of the groom'.&nbsp; &nbsp; Thanks, Inge, for putting the link here!&nbsp; Now I know what ETA means.&nbsp; Finally!</p> <p>Now could someone please explain the following:</p> <p>1.&nbsp; What is a poison eye?&nbsp; &nbsp; Is that good, as in, "I can't even be objective because I love these so much" ?</p> <p>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; What is a hot mess?&nbsp; (Nobody, anywhere, ever has the same answer).&nbsp; &nbsp; Like... just a big old mess, but somehow still looks great... or is it just a hot mess, like, "my dog threw up on the carpet" hot mess? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985440 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:39:59 +0000 Inge 985440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Cyndi,</p> <p>There's a list with commonly used acronyms in the backstage area of the blog:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/backstage/the-forum/acronyms/">http://youlookfab.com/backstag...../acronyms/</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985295 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:10:14 +0000 Raisin 985295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MOTG = mom on the go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985276 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:52:38 +0000 Cindy 985276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I was on the right track with FFBO (what I would call a "go to" outfit) but didn't have a clue on RATE.<br />DJ- I wanted to use the word acronym in my post instead of abbreviation but spell-check kept telling me it was wrong! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985271 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:47:16 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 985271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, this question comes up about once a month, it feels like, so you're not alone. If you search for the word "acronym," you will see all the threads on this topic, from abbreviation translation&nbsp;to discussions on whether they are too exclusionary, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/huh-1#post-985270 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:46:15 +0000 Susie 985270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BBQ- better buy quick!

For instance I keep seeing FFBO and RATE. TIA! (thanks in advance ) </p>
