Note---I used to post here more often (prior to kid #1 who is now 4, back in sunshine and puppy dog days of BOTB) so I'm not just a newbie or someone who hasn't lurked enough...but I suppose I haven't lurked much lately....whatever...
However....having just peeked over here and seeing the all important...or rather supa important rules, I have a few Q's for you intelligent gals.
1. how come BD and preggos are off limits and flameworthy, but AF is not. Granted..I hate BD and Pregs as much as the next nestie/bumpie whatever....but AF is JUST as lame...and even MORE lame when your period is refered to as "she". It's a period...you bleed for days...its not anyone's aunt. just sayin....be consistent in the rules...you can't have cutesy names for things that you think are cutesy.
2. WTF is the fingernail of feta story....I'm guessing its hilarious, whatever it is....but also weird.
3. I'm going to dd this in a few. I kid!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Re: Q about the rules.....this is supa-important.
hahaha...bumpie.
as for AF: I think it's just another abbreviation people prefer to do. We are busy after all!
I used to have the "fingernail full of feta" post saved, until the stupid boards changed format, then it disappeared.
I do, however, have "cat-piss" for you enjoyment!

I was here (well, not here exactly) for cat piss....its a classic on ALL the boards, i'm pretty sure.
I actually missed the cat story, and don't know the details.
I don't even know what AF stands for, but use PD for period.
I even hate DH,but faster than typing husband.
welcome back
Ah, fnf and cat piss - in the BOTB Top 5 of all time!
I think fnf happened on my first or second day on here. The snark that followed is what made me come back
man, I miss everything. If this was true, I would be in trouble. I threw up everything but my kidneys on Tuesday.
Preggers, Prego and any other version makes you sound like you are a knocked up 16 year old and therefor makes me gag. I think when anyone says it here or IRL it makes them sound like a complete idiot.
As for baby dance... well that also makes you sound like a 16 year old. I don't even know who or how they came up with this it is ridiculous. I understand that most of the terms here on the board are made to shorten terms (inlaws= ILs, my husband= MH) but when it comes to baby dance/BD why not just add the one extra letter and say SEX.
Aunt Flow is actually a IRL term. Many many people use it to describe your period. So I see the reasoning behind AF(to shorten aunt flow).
::shrugs::
I promise I have nothing against 16 year olds but when discussing a "big people" situation like pregnancy I think you should leave your Jr. High vocabulary at home.
All in all preggers/prego will absolutely get a flame from me because you sound like an idiot. BD I think is stupid but have never flamed someone for using it.

hahahaha.
Apparently emilie1116 and Kriszta both didn't like this post....whatevs...thanks for the one star!!! At least you took the time to rate it! Thanks for two stars ginifred.
::looks up::
Wowza, that shit was way longer than it sounded in my head.

FYI- Hi. Newbie then old lurker then newbie. I was on here a few months ago (mostly lurker but occasional replier) when we planned TTC. I was laid off and have postponed TTC until next year IF IF IF I can get a freaking job. I've started lurking again.
Name's Mel. I'm a native Texan.
hilarious...I don't remember seeing Aunt Flo or AF in medical books.....but ok! Makes perfect sense now! Thanks!
How do the "stars" work? How do you know who rated the post and how many stars they gave it? Interesting!
FNF is my all-time favourite post and I'm so glad I was here in person to flame her ass. I also loved Mrs. Poggio's "mac & cheese causes autism" post. Cat piss is timeless.
I think there are more immature things going on on this board than the use of terms like Preggo...like jumping all over people for using the term preggo...that's one!
Also, DandR- I think Kriszta only rates her own posts 5 stars! ( how goofy if that?) So don't feel badly that she didn't give you more stars!
I'll give it 5- this was SupaFunny!
( I remember all of these posts from nest history, but they're worth reliving!)
Did I say it was a medical term? :: looks up :: Oh no I sure in the heck didn't. Weird.
I see that you really came here just to be a biitch so I will move on cause at about 3 I have nooo energy, you missed me by about an hour. Shux.

GOTCHA..you meant "real" term like shux....now I get it....
