Terminology for first-time users

cya- cover your butt

For those angry moments we shouldn't forget WTF which is what the firetruck. Ok that's not what it really means

[whitestripe]

I use DF for Darling Fiance.

[kork13]

Oh yea, I've butted heads with this one all too frequently....

PTB = Powers That Be (Boss, top decision maker, corporate weenies, federal government, and so on)

PITI - Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance (in reference to mortgage payments)

I remember what I was like at that age.. and that's why I have cats

[whitestripe]

also BIL, SIL, FIL, MIL is brother/sister/father/mother in law.

another reason why people don't use W for Wife and use DW instead, is that W could be a name for someone - a lot of people use first initials for friends instead of writing their real names.

**snort** How many of us have referred to the SO (significant other) as "DH" or whatever in a conversation? **teehee** I know I have.

Other financial terms not exclusive to this site:
HCOLA=high-cost-of-living area
ARM=adjustable-rate mortgage
HELOC=home-equity line of credit
FPU=Financial Peace University (a Dave Ramsey thing)

That's all I can think of right now that I don't believe has been mentioned.

And on the off-topic thing, I think Buchanan is the bad one from early in our history, but I can't remember the details right now--but basically as corrupt and inept as they come, right up there with Harding and Bush 43.
