question from a newbie

[cwydro]

I am sorry, but can someone tell me what nt or n/t means? I see it all the time. I am not very computer literate regarding message boards (this is my first), so still learning... and thanks.... I love DU; I no longer feel so alone! You guys are great.

2. n/t = no text. it's for when only subject line is used.

it took me a while to figure that one out, so you're not alone.

here are some others-

imho in my humble opinion
iirc if i recall correctly
msm main stream media
bft bout fuckin time

and of course the ever popular- sigsffowitotmtgdailfoc! sometimes i get so fucking freaked out when i think of the mess this administration is leaving for our children!

and i STILL haven't figured out WHIG...

hope this helps!

13. WHIG is White House Iraq Group n/t

[cwydro]

14. thanks!

I really like bft! I can use that every damn day!

[stlsaxman]

17. Actually- BFT is one I made up myself a few years ago...

never used it in a post here, but use it in conversation quite a bit...

think it's a variation of BFD- "Big fuckin' deal"

[liberaltrucker]

3. A big, hearty WELCOME

:hi:

[cwydro]

6. much thanks

I feel like a dweeble that I couldn't figure that out....:dunce:

[cwydro]

5. It's used in the subject line to indicate that there's "no text"...

In the body of the message. Some people put "n/t" in the body of the message, which completely defeats the purpose, since it's used to let people know that there's no point in clicking on that message, since everything's already said in the subject line.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

18. Sometimes peeople use eom instead...

of nt---meaning end of message.
