I don't remember when I learned the truth, but every time I see it, I still mostly just see the last four letters and thus still do not automatically put that real meaning to it. The one I alway have to stop and think about is IRT (In Regards To), which is a phrase that was used regularly in business communications. Considering I spent most of my life working in an office that used the phrase frequently, you would think I'd remember what IRT stands for but noooooooooooooooo. TBI... it's not all fun and games.

Lindal Kidd Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I always thought "re." was "in regards to", or "regarding". IRT refers to a public transit system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look that one up too, TLA = three letter acronym go figure Seems like SMH was being used a lot at the club where I hang out and I didn't know what it meant for months, I would make stuff up in my head that I thought kinda went in context, but never really hit on anything that worked from context to context, and that was months ago so of course I can't remember now what I thought at the time. But I remember fessing up when I finally learned what it did mean and we all had a great big laugh over it. There was much shaking of heads.

Public Transit here is TriMet. That is both buses and trains. Where I live is end of the line. Professionally, it's "re:" and is an abbreviation of "regarding". Of course I was taught "old school" business practices. Meaning it was "old school" when I was 20... 40 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibGwen Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) "re:" here too. IRT is "incident response team". Or sometimes a telescope (no idea what it stands for). And probably any number of other things. Edited June 7, 2020 by LibGwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you to please shut up, yes, after which you threw a fit for weeks. Where's the outrage over GatCat telling someone to stfu recently btw? But why did I tell you to please shut up (and I did say 'please'). Because I was depressed over fee increases, and so were some of my friends, and you told me we were being depressed and acting like we were helpless. Condemning us when we'd only heard the news of having to cope with decreased income that very day! And as if you knew EVERY freaking thing about being a merchant! When YOU complain about depression though, oh we better just whine right along with you, you've told us umpteen times, and for sure we can't tell you to get over it. My daughter has brain cancer, and less money means I can't visit and send money to her and my grandson who will be without a mother after she dies. YES BETH, I'M EFFING DEPRESSED ABOUT IT, and don't EVER EVER tell me again that I can't feel depressed over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ditto for the diagnosing, @Beth Macbain. You make fun and berate me for days about what you see as me diagnosing (heaven forbid, I see patterns in people, and rarely assign an actual label to it). Yet you diagnose in spades with your Becky/Karen obsession of late. You are like this all the time -- you make fun of others for doing things that you feel fine about doing yourself.

Beth Macbain Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yeah, that’s not actually what happened, though. Whatever. You can’t admit your own actions in regards to your words. Thanks for throwing in the bit about your daughter that I would have absolutely no way of knowing about to paint me as an even bigger monster, though. How do you know I wasn’t going through some sort of personal tragedy myself at that time? Or today? You’re a hypocrite, Luna. You’re fast to point out everyone else’s flaws but absolutely refuse to admit you are just the same. Bye. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You busted into this forum acting like you owned the place, telling everybody how they should be. And how I described the increased fees and your criticism over others feeling depressed is EXACTLY how it happened. Have a lovely rest of your evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
