Fantastic

I recognise loads of those characters!

Years ago I used to see adverts and think ISH meant 'sort of' as in mareish! So I'd wonder if a 16hh ISH meant nearly 16hh / looks like 16hh etc

PITA - didn't get this for ages! Turns out to mean pain in the a*se!

 

[Hawks27]

Er it means in my humble opinion .

Oh dear and I always thought this meant 'in my horsie opinion'

 

[Garnet]

There are some more technical ones too . . .
EMS - Equine Metabolic Syndrome
IR - Insulin Resistance
Lammi - Laminitis
BF - Barefoot

 

[Dizzy socks]

Yeah Garnet, those are good. I have to admit to not knowing PITA!

'I just spat my coffee/coke/substitute beverage of choice all over my keyboard/screen/self' Really? Did you actually just do that because it was SO damned funny? Meant as a nod to someone else's humorous post, frequently used.










Too nasty? Sorry, I just see it a lot and I'm sure there must be many keyboards destroyed by orally incontinent people.

Slightly off topic but I ride a horse who's racing name is YANBU, apparently it's a red sea port im Saudi Arabia but I like to think the person who named her was a mumsnet user

I am one of these orally incontinent people (unless wine is involved) hence I bought a wipe clean ipad rather than attempt to remove crumbs/tea/other suitable beverages from ones keyboard. Saying this I do it publicly too, which is highly embarrassing at the best of times. Pretty sure it's TMI (learnt this one this week.) to let others know of my mouth related incontinence.

IYKWIM - If you know what I mean?

FWIW - For what it's worth

Pone - horse or pony

Sensible!

 

[LeannePip]

This is great

IIRC - if I remember correctly

And one I feel hasn't been been explained: HHO - horse and hound online! Took me a while to work out what the O was for!!

The one is see a lot of and never worked out what it meant was AFIK? Or those sorts of letters in some sort of order

Afaik - as far as I know means as far as I know

 

[LeannePip]

Of course it does! Thank ffion! That makes a lot of sense x

I did actually just snort beer out of my nose!

Does that make me nasally incontinent?

Or maybe just orally incompetent?

 

[Dizzy socks]

Definitely Nasally incontinent.

 

[Dizzy socks]
