12. Wow! Our very own DU dictionary!

I doubt a similar thing exists for those who frequent FR.

Thanks for the link. I went there and found out that Tweety is Chris Matthews. I don't like him being called Tweezer though. It is a name of a Phish song and while I cannot be 100% certain, I think it is safe to assume that Phish does not agree with the politics of the BFEE or pug nation in general.

10. BFEE as in

Bush Family Evil Empire

I'd also like clarification on what or who is Tweety...

IMHO, POTUS should be used only when referring to Al Gore as he was the elected POTUS. *, like the CEO he imagines himself, was merely appointed by the executive board (the SCOTUS).

15. yes

N/T = not text - this should go in the subject line only, and only when you've nothing to add in the message field

OAGS = Oh arwalden's gay stars

eom = end of message - same as N/T

IMNSHO = in my not so humble opinion

lots and lots more too, but that's all I'm adding here.
