What does YGM mean?

[Oldschooltamiya 0]

Hey all,

I think it would be neat if we had a glossary

of things like LOL, YGM and so on. That way

we could look them up quickly and have to ask

like I just did[:I]

What do you think, good bad or maybe?

It means 'you've got mail'

There are loads of FAQ's on this sort of subject. No need for that here.

Check out www.faq.org

Cheers,

Mike, with this last sentence I ask myself, why you did marry? BTDT too, and made the same experience. Maybe you need much more sympathy!

LOL

But this shortened expressions were already in use when I started my Web-career around 1996, so this kind of talk is pretty much established now as I assume. But I always discover new things in the web that make me feel older, even though another e-mail-pen-pal told me that I have a young fresh style of writing. Well I am close to the fourth "sonic wall break through" now.

IT'S ANDY NOT MIKEid="size3">id="red"> - I blame Mr Chang[]

She's gradually 'coming round' I bought her a BMW Mini to build (1/10) so it's only a matter of time.....

And yes, more sympathy wouldn't go amiss[^]

[urban warrior 359]

Well sorry, and now I understand the sentence in the other topic. No hard feelings Andy! But if you ever come into the temptation, you can always ask me, if you are interested in the opinion of someone who burned his fingers badly[]

If a woman wants to live with a man, she has to understand him a lot and a little to love. When a man wants to live with a woman he has to love her a lot, and better never tries to understand her![}]

And hey all you native english members, please be a little bit more careful when juggling around with words, we non-native members can easily be confused[?][]!

Regards, Martin

[ShenUK 1]

Hey Andy

This reminds me of the film bad boys lol

"Everybody want's to be like Mike" [] lol

So true Mike [8D][^], oops Andy[] LOL!

Martin, as I have written to you, I really enjoy the wisdoms you write about life, think you should concentate them in a topic or a book, mean that![8D][^]

What a nice refreshing topic![8D][^]

[urban warrior 359]

OK, Andy, I finally got it. And when I got it, everyone else should have got it too!

Oh, I remember when my father in law told me, that he possibly would have got 9 camels for wedding his daughter to someone else like me. I answered, that he now got a donkey instead!

Theo, I am always pleasured to give you a little joy during the day. But I bet many people wouldn't call it wisdom, but merely sarcasm or something else. The emery of experiencing life has sharpened my tongue. And I bet most of my "wisdoms" are already written up in books.

See ya, Martin

P.S. How about a topic "Wisdom of the Day"? Maybe some others may contribute something to it too.[]
