Well, they finally went and did it. THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY has finally made it real. These
abbreviations are 'REAL' words now. The new edition will add OMG, IMHO, LOL, BFF plus others to
the lineup.

Sadly, kids will never know how to actually write, spell or understand proper English in the years ahead.

So...I think SENIORS should get in on the fun, too! Here are some abbreviations, (same abbreviation,
different meaning!) for us. (Not sure if I want to add the 'for us' on here but, here they are)

ATD......At the Doctors.
BFF.......Best Friend Fell.
BTW.....Bring The Wheelchair.
BYOT...Bring Your Own Teeth.
FWIW..Forgot Where I Was.
GGPBL..Gotta Go Pacemaker Battery Low.
GHA......Got Heartburn Again.
IMHO....Is My Hearing-Aid On.
LMDO...Laughing My Dentures Out.
OMMR..On My Massage Recliner.
OMSG....Oh My! Sorry, Gas.
ROFLACGU..Rolling ON Floor Laughing And Can't Get Up.
TTYL....Talk To You Louder.
