eagles123 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 for a long time, I thought "ATB" was Asses the bidding, rather than assign the blame! Any other mis-interpreted topic titles etc or was it just me :P Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I was always confused when people called me a little old lady. When I realised they were just laughing at my play it was more understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 The proper response to "glp" is "typ[ical]". I *still* read those that way (so I use different words). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLow21 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 BJR. I finally figured out what it means. Hint: I only see it when at a table with a French player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 When I apologized on-line to Terry, she would often reply "np". I just recently found out she was really calling me a nincom-poop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I always have an internal LOL when I type "sp" to the table. In Romanian internet slang it's short for something very inappropriate to tell your pd when you mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 bjr is a little like ola and slm. brb can be bathroom break and I was in one online MMO guild where that was the default meaning in chat. When I first joined these forums I read ATB as "at the board", which is a chess expression. That was thoroughly confusing and for bridge it should be ATT anyway. And as for gto, well it is difficult to know why the opps like talking about their cars every time I go down in an easy contract and difficult to explain why Tourers are so popular amongst English bridge players.
