What ever happened to just plain old talking.
I heard a story on the radio not long ago about a guy who's son started texting LOL to him,so he started using it when he texted or emailed other loved ones. Said he sent a message to his sister saying something like "So sorry that your husband left you. LOL" and things like that. When his son finally explained to him that it meant "laughing out loud" he said NO IT DOES'T! It means "lots of love". No Dad,laughing out loud.
I don't even need to tell you how embarrassed he said he was about using that one wrong.

To me the abbreviations are code for I'm too lazy to post a message so don't bother responding.

Sorry folks. 'texting' makes no sense to me. It takes longer than a simple phone call. Ya, I know about the 'slightly' less cost overall, AND the possibility of just an answering device, BUT for GOSH sakes it is the BIGGEST time waster ever invented by man. How has our society gotten as far as it has 'WITHOUT' the extremely expensive tools and costs? Don't do it, Won't do it. I have a cell phone that costs $11.20 per month (pay as you go) = it's PHONE, I use it so often that I have accumulated a + 12 hrs. 'talk time' NUTZ ! ! P.S. I have seen so many 'near accidents' from the use, it blows my tiny little mind, b

Very derogatory if you really love your wife or only think of her as someone who you obey.
There was a series of books out of England, the Rumpole of the Bailey series- old curmudgeonly lawyer, not very prosperous or successful, mainly did cases on "legal aid", for indigent (and usually incompetent) crooks. He was plagued by a nagging wife who always thought she should have done better. He referred to her as She Who Must Be Obeyed, hence SWMBO, or just "She" for short. Great books, I have every one and have re-read them many times, am pleased that his expression was picked up on this board.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
Where I used to work, this was standard in every memo ever distributed. It was always a laugher, especially when you saw what you had to cooperate with. Glad those days are over.

I have heard good polite folks use the military ones in what should be considered to clean conversation. Fact sometimes the military ones are used in the media

Hi George, A guys just got to be careful what words he types on line these days, it offends some people on the net apparently, and guys disappear if people are offended by the posts . I know all the sayings here and more besides, but some days it's better to keep quiet. Today would be one of them, that it's probably not appropriate to discuss some of those sayings in depth.

SWMBO is a term that moved upstairs from Tales.
Sometimes you can't know the definition without a dictionary. Thankfully, Fawteen has one on his website...and here's the link to it:
