I'm so fed up with the use of initials and funny names for things. It's a sort of one-up-manship like having to know the name of all the streets or the every type of wine. I'm so sick of being stumped and distracted everytime I come across that [censored]. And the more some of you do it, the bigger the [censored] I think you are. It's like a bogan metric. Like you're so in the know. Esoteric nick names, "the Hun", "West Toast", "Carltank" - it's just so f'n funny.

And RHS? Rex Hunt Syndrome

    I know what you mean. I have worked in lots of industries and each has its own lingo and TLAs - it is part exclusivity - part convenience ( a form of code and code is partly about efficiency of language) - part sniff test - but it should be said that sometimes there is wit involved and humour does work on the revelation effect - "oh that is what they are talking about!" I think rhyming slang is a similar thing. You can also say things within the code that is offensive but less obvious eg...

    "One example is "berk", a mild pejorative widely used across the UK and not usually considered particularly offensive, although the origin lies in a contraction of "Berkeley Hunt", as the rhyme for the significantly more offensive" word

    LOL

    I had a friend once who thought lol was for 'lots of love' and used to put it on the end of texts or emails to his partner. She understandably read it as 'laugh out loud' and was not amused. Thought he was a rude bastard taking the p!ss all the time.

    My Aunty also thinks LOL is for 'lots of love' and put it on the end of a card she sent to a friend recently diagnosed with cancer! *facepalm*

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
