Mods. And Abreviation's....

[Just A Girl]

Whats going on here Now then?

In all my time on the internet MF has Always meant My freind,

Yesterday I said Look it up MF (in the back room,)
"Look it up my freind"

Then i went to spend the day with my daughter.
So i came back today to see what had happend in the post,

Prety much Nothing had happend...
Why?
Cos A mod had decided to close the post.

I also had 2 pm's
1 asking me to explain what i said,
and 1 telling Me i had a MAJOR warning,.


This Is becoming Some what Annoying to say the least.
MF Has ALWAYS ment My freind.
Lile LOL means LOL
"You can say it means Loads of lesbians And warn me for that 1 if youy like 2."

You can keep going round Making up wour own menaings for abreiviations,.
But This Really Is taking the Piss.

That Thread was a good decent thread,
We wernt Arguing we were debating.
As far as im concerned it wasnt even a heated debate.

And now its closed? Becos a Mod Thinks MF means something other than MY fereind,

Verry annoying,

Prehaps You could get a list of ALLOWED abreviations.
Cos this is geting to be a JOKE!

[Just A Girl]

All is good.
And matter is all resolved...

However I would Still Like A list of ALLOWED abreviations.
Cos I dont need this 1st thing in the morning.

[TosaInu]

All is not good.

I did a search on internet and found some meanings too.

[Proletariat]

I have never, ever heard of mf standing for anything other than what Tosa just pointed out.

[Ser Clegane]

I found a very(!!) comprehensive website on acronyms/slang.

Here are their entries on "mf"

more than you ever want to know about acronyms

The first entry nicely reflects the whole situation here

[KukriKhan]

"Moderately Forte"

LoL. The price we pay for world-wide communications-ability across dozens of cultures = the occasional explanation is required.

[Proletariat]

Huh, well I'll be. If someone said that to me in multiplayer I'dve been inclined to disconnect.

Anyway, imho there isn't a real need for an acceptable abbreviation list since usually just a simple discussion can sort these sort of things out. If you make an official list, it leaves room for people to use context and double-entendres anyhow, so it prolly would just become a joke.

[Just A Girl]

Well i am a mp gameing nut....
And as i posted in my pm regarding the matter i have always known MF to mean My freind.
i then went and posted A list of "games" Where people would ALL concider Mf to be my freind.

im not a chatroom person.
So i was not using it to mean anything els, Although i do see how some could interperate it as being something els.

The comprehensive Definitions list posted by Ser Clegane Only goes to veryfi my statments.

I hope this matter is resolved and all is well....
I see that tosainu san does not agree.

I will wait for futher confermation.

MF has two common meanings:

• Mezzo Forte (mf) - a dynamic expression in music notation
• (Unspeakable) - abbreviation of a rap music expression

Use abbreviations/acronyms warily. I was chatting with a Brazillian friend and happened to type CU (for "see you"). He got puzzled about why I called him that out of nothing. It meant a particular body part in Portoguese.

Funny those Spanish fellows!

mf has 2 meanings, often used as:

(i) (You dont want to know)
(ii) My Friend

definition (i) is more commonly seen in chatrooms; whereas definition (ii) seen in multiplayer games.

if someone uses mf towards you, it's best to pretend you dont understand, so they will explain - either (i) or (ii). Since you dont want to just start insulting them.Example:

<Shinosuke> Blah.. lets stop the conversation.. I dont want to talk abt it anymore.
<Person1> ok mf.
<Shinosuke> mf?
<Person1> mf - my friend.
<Shinosuke> Oh.. ok.. i thought.. nvm.

It really does mean My freind......
And as far as im concerned still does always has and always will.

Its not my fault if people take the abriviation used in mp games for My Friend then give it a vulgar or insulting meaning without consulting or atleast telling me.....

ive been playing online games for Quite some time now,
has to be a decade if not more.
And its always ment My freind to me.

[Mithrandir]

Oh, I was hoping for some more drama when I woke up this morning...


There's no need for a list, just use your common sense.

[Geoffrey S]

Why not just type 'my friend'?

[Just A Girl]

Why not just type 'my friend'?

Why not type "Laugh out loud" or "Be right back" or "In my humble oppinion" or "If I recall correctly"?

MF always has ment My freind and i dont care what Vulgar and insulting people use it to mean,
It means My Freind.

[Ser Clegane]

I think this topic served its purpose.

- There was a misunderstanding (from my side) regarding the use of an abbreviation that obviously has several (quite different ) meanings.

- The misunderstanding has been resolved relatively quickly

- Nobody has been injured

- I found a website that gives me more information about slang/acronyms than I could possibly need in my life

I don't think further discussion of the issue will lead to valuable new insights

In general, should I wish to use such a phrase I type the whole thing rather than use an abbreviation. This is because I find it takes no extra effort and it makes my posts look a little more presentable, and it does prevent such mishaps as you seem to have experienced.

[Craterus]

When an abbreviation is questionable, typing the extra letters would have saved an entire thread worth of typing. But it seems you had no idea of the other meaning, so it doesn't matter. As Ser said, the thread has served it's purpose.

Whatever.

You're not fooling anyone with your phony meanings for MF. We all know that MF stands for Mouzafphaerre, and your posting in this thread is nothing more than a shameless act of self promotion.

GFY...

(I mean that in the context of Dave's explanation above.)

[Redleg]

We all know MF is the intials for Meme Fartsalot.
