Anonymous wrote:The "not giving your husband sex? that means your marriage is open!" poster. I picture an average looking white male, mousy hair, medium build/slightly paunchy, not too tall or too short... the kind no one ever looks at or thinks about twice. I bet he appears as a nice guy to those around him, but inside he is seething with rage at his mediocrity and takes it out on everyone in his life.

you are right. his DW should never give him her body again. how dare he expect that!

eh, it seems severe but in this case it's probably warranted.

The incessant UVA haters. I picture pot bellied, balding single guys in their late 30s wearing fading VA Tech and Maryland sweatshirts, respectively.

Anyone who asks for the BEST of anything.

Sorry. Since SkyMall Magazine shut down, there’s no longer a source for “the BEST” of anything.

I see a thirty-something, thinks she’s elegant (we know the difference between Payless orange and Louboutin red), brags constantly and thinks she’s on the cutting edge. Typical striver.

I’m a YMMV poster (but I don’t think I’m the only one). It’s common shorthand on a board I’m on for academics, basically meaning “my opinion, for what it’s worth.” Also SPADFY, which means “your ego not the only snowflake in this blizzard.”

I’m a late 30s academic chasing a toddler, with the Birkenstock and LL Bean look you might expect.

YMMV was actually used by a certain type of white male tool in suburban office parks several years ago. It’s vaguely passive aggressive.

Especially when she’s asking for the BEST of some totally inconsequential item, like the BEST sippy cup or the BEST pet brush. Like lady, whos got time to think about that, let alone crowdsource it.

The person who starts a thread to ask what some easily-Google-able thing is.

Like, “How do I fold clothes?” Or, “Where is the Safeway in Rockville Pike?”

I imagine it’s some clueless, naive, helpless person with long pink fingernails.

Well, that hasn’t been my experience with the term, so I guess MMV and IADFY.

I imagine a lot of bleach blonde women with straw hair posing on their way to yoga with a starbucks in one hand and the phone in the other.

Those who think that there is ONLY ONE RIGHT WAY to do things. Whatever it is.

These people are severely narrow-minded and limited, and I don't like them.

I picture all the sanctimommy posters wearing the hideous footwear and Dress Barn dresses often suggested in the beauty and fashion forum.

For the record, I am mid 50’s, full head of original colored hair. But, I have 4 stents, a pacemaker, an insulin pump, and colon polyps. For real Hokies, it is just about sports. And most of us are doing great in life (or at least I am) professionally.

what does YMMV mean?

And I hate the "this is what google is for" poster.

Are you ancient or something? Get an Alexa if you're so infirm.

Your mileage may vary
