I don't think the links will give him MAB - Manky Auld Boat or AWB - Average White Boat

 

[Lakesailor]

I see someone has been and added AWB and MAB to the dictionary Stingo suggested.
Stingo?

AWB - average white boat..... well you learn something everyday. I had thought it was All Weather Boat, but I suppose this is what happens when trying to think up your own versions /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[badman]

I can understand all weather boat submarine obviously
What is an average white boat 80% percent of boats are white what does the average look like is it power or sail.

 

[jonathankent]

I believe lifeboats are classed as all weather boats, hence where I got my end of the stick. Would a submarine be classed as a boat though?

 

[TiggerToo]

IMHO all ARE a PITA

 

[Twister_Ken]

AWB also known around these parts as a Benjenbav.

SWMBO - the original

Rider Haggard's "She"

When you read SWMBO you should be aware that the writer has his tongue in his cheek, so a literal reading as "She, who must be obeyed" is naive. What he is actually saying is "I'm not really a misogynist, and my partner tolerates most of my foibles, but she sure as hell hates me spending so much of my time in chat rooms.

Literal reading of IMHO is equally, in my not-so-humble opinion, unwise. What it actually means is: why do I have to put up with such insufferable imbeciles?

Oh shucks - back to fixing the gutters before my lovely partner gets home.

[pessimist]

SWMBO is a mistyped version of SWMO (She Who Must Obey).

NOW you know why we're not married - obey - yeh right !

We could just talk about Skippers and our recently returned neighbour who's been off to Scotland with his "chums" and is referred to as Admiral.

Let's get a bit more PC here ! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[pessimist]

Never mind dear, you wouldn't understand. "Admiral" is a term of affection bestowed on a skipper by those fortunate to crew for him.

Similarly "Make it fast now, you dozy slapper" is an affectionate expression meaning "quickly, if you wouldn't mind, old thing".

Dunno why bints can't wrap their 'eds around simple English.

Woz that PC enuff?
