Oh, the horrible abbreviations!

[Sir Cumference]

There is a limited number of possible combinations for short abbreviations.

Qwerty recently showed us that "MILF welcomes pope's visit".


Today I looked up a news story at BBC.... and had a hard time only reading it at "British Broadcasting Corporation".

I have a problem deciding which is appropriate when I see "CBT"

In the UK, apart from the version we all know and love, it can mean "Compulsory Basic Training" related to getting a motorbike licence, or "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" often used in mental health treatment. Actually, in the latter case, our version of CBT could well be therapeutic!

[sandalee]

CBT also means "Closed beta testing" in gaming world. So as we say: "A good kid has many names"

"A good kid has many names"

As long as they're not on fake IDs...

I watched an ad for a school that provided CBT...
Come to find out it was Computer Based Training...

Sometimes I find S/M markings on the clothes, then I realize they mean small/medium

Aaaaaaah!
"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy"!

I saw that abbreviation used in another discussion (in a galaxy far, far away), and I really could not make the context fit with my version of CBT.
It makes sense now!

You've been trained to see dirty words in any single abbreviation from your childhood

(BKPND?? Anyone can decode it please?)

Greets from Barcelona

[Sir Cumference]

Shorting "assistant" to "ass" it not pretty either!

[Sir Cumference]

Of course, you can also abbreviate "association" that way...... not that it is any better.

[bound_jenny]

You guys are nuts.

Add to that my mom who could swear to make sailors blush, and no wonder I'm messed up...

Jenny.

Well, of course it is!

Thy wish, my command Ma'am:

[bound_jenny]

And I thought that it was about what substances are fashionable to put in one's butt...

Now this thread is really anal-yzed.

Thy wish, my command Ma'am:

I love it when you're obedient!
