Letters for that LDR
In the ‘olden days’ young gentlemen or ladies, when feeling bold, might write SWALK across the back of an envelope to their beloved. SWALK (Sealed with a loving kiss) has plenty of modern equivalents for that text or e-mail including –
NORWICH – knickers off ready when I come home
.LDR – long distance relationship
PAW – parents are watching
TIME – tears in my eyes
TOY – thinking of you
YOYO – you’re on your own
MUSM – miss you so much
ROR – relationship on rocks
TOPCA – till our paths cross again
WOS – waste of space
OLR – On-line relationship
B@TM – busy at the moment
CWUL – chat with you later
O2L – out to lunch
VH – virtual hug
VK – virtual kiss
and my favourite
WYSIWYG – what you see is what you get.
