Acronym meanings

[demonblaster]

I know there's a few that I don't know but ask what they are so assuming others too may not know

GAD ?

Learnt recently that BPD = Bipolar Disorder can be confused with BPD= Borderline Personality disorder so the poster puts PD= personality disorder (good thinking)

Thx Sophie and Kanga

Mathy I prefer to swear lol, no lady clearly but it emphasizes & I'm not good at words or expressing same for a lot of people.

But that's right in mixed company, if It's going to offend someone I hold back with great difficulty I add 😄

Often swearing comes from rough people or in bad situations with aggression so I'm ok and these days heard on TV talk show there's moderate which is just acceptable.

It is a quicker way to get point across but there's young and old here too, amongst other reasons

Thx 🙂
