This is an old one that dates back to pre-Internet. We used this on the Usenet bulletin boards on ArpaNet before the Internet really launched.

Your Mileage May Vary.


I hate this one. Always makes me cringe.

DP= different poster

Used to contribute to a conversation between two other posters where they are quoting each other. Like stepping up to conversation at a cocktail party and inviting yourself to join it.

Though also sometimes used by sock puppets to try and trick you into thinking more than one poster is agreeing with their point.

I hope there are not any DC rural moms here. This is for only moms who are both from District of Columbia and in the Urban Area. Do thou not understand?

The one that got me for a long time was FTM. This poster was going on and on about issues with her child and kept saying she was FTM and I was thinking "gosh, do you have to mention being transgender in every other sentence?" I didn't think First Time Mom.

The ‘D’ is for dear, but for a lot of postings it seems like it is damn.

Not a DCUM abbreviation, a RL (real life) abbreviation - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
