That was a new one on me. I have never seen it on any boards or in any chatrooms before here on a particular thread.

I think someone got creative or tired of typing out the words...Bolded By Me.

Have seen this one on the Ramsey thread and cannot figure it out...help please!

IDI

Thanks to anyone who replies:blowkiss:

 

[Shezzy]

I'm very new to WS, so forgive me if I am mistaken...

Specifically at the Ramsey threads, I believe, IDI stands for Intruder Did It, in other instances, though, IDI stands for I Doubt It. Hope this helps.

And btw, WELCOME TO WS!!!!!! you are gonna be great here!!!!:blowkiss:

I've been around for awhile and I still come across some acronym's that throw me. Last year I finally learned that:

KWIM?=Know what I mean?

AFAIC=As far as I'm concerned. (this one always reminds me of the duck/insurance commercial)


Shadowraith has some that I keep forgetting to ask her about. I can't remember off hand what they are. So you can be around here forever and still be learning. lol.

Me, too! LOL QUACK! AFLAC! (It made me wonder what AFLAC stood for so I went to their site to find out...guess what?! They do not tell you. )
