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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
