The Abbreviation Game

I think I know it without the I part though.... hmmm

She
Who
Must
Be
Obeyed?

Partly right?

 

[JudyN]

Completely right, @Josie - it's often spelt with the I, presumably just to make it pronouncable.

CBA

 

[Biker John]

JudyN, that reminds me of some comic making the comment, 'I wonder what happens when the Bishop of Norwich seals a letter with Norwich'.

 

[Josie]

CBA - can’t be arsed

 

[Josie]

WTF

 

[JudyN]

What The Flip

 

[Josie]

ETA

 

[Biker John]

Estimated Time of Arrival

 

[TheWDs]

Here's another one for you: SWIMBO

Never understood the I in that. You see it both ways "She who must be obeyed".

TWAIN?

 

[JudyN]

TWAIN?

Not sure: 'The World And Its Neighbour'?

 

[TheWDs]

Not sure: 'The World And Its Neighbour'?

@Jack-Russell-Lover , maybe you're too young, as it dates back to the time people actually wrote letters on actual sheets of paper, and would write that on the envelope! When I were a lass we used to giggle over another option, NORWICH. Anyone remember that one?

I know this one too! There was also NORFOLK but I can’t remember what this stood for now.

 

[Josie]

what does TWAIN stand for @TheWDs ?
