Re: Imho?

If you have to explain a joke, then it didn't work :redface:

I was playing on JRJ's "I mean how obvious" . . . ;) I knew it was weak, but for me, humor is about quantity, not quality :facepalm:

Re: Imho?

I found FONSI, one of my favorite acronyms, by accident on the internet. It is used in environmental studies and statements and stands for Finding Of No Significant Impact. I use it to mean any nonsensical or meaningless statement, either written or spoken.

You can find the original meaning at: http://www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/projdev/docuFONSI.asp

It's not an acronym like IMHO, but we have a kind of slang one we use here that I guess just kind of developed. You may have noticed how clean we are, no profanity, etc. Many of us use carp here. I love that it fits with our passion, and is pretty close to the same meaning anyway, and very close to the same spelling :cool: It's never been suggested, and I know when I first used it I hadn't really seen it before. I guess it's just obvious :)

Interesting you should mention a kind of "slang" used here. I've found I have my own kind of slang now that I have 16 grandchildren 15 of which can talk. Use , carp, gosh darnit, holy cow, fudge and stuff like that all the time now and I have to think quickly from time to time because I spent 9 years in the Navy and 4 in the Army. Language was not as tame there.
Come on guys, don't give carp a bad name - they are one of the hardest fighting game fish on the planet. If you don't think so; you have never caught one! :redface:

Re: Imho?

BTW, FWIW, and IHMO, I usually LOL at some of these posts. :D

My wife was shocked when I asked her why she keeps putting 'LOL' in SMS messages, especially when I noticed she put it in a reply to someone..........who had just lost their mother!!


She thought it meant Lots of Love :eek::eek::eek::eek:
