Title: Trying to under all of these abbreviated words
Post by: CaptFido87 on January 28, 2015, 02:11:49 PM
Hi folks,

So I'm honestly having difficultly in understanding some of the lingo you folks use on here. I got that "T" is testosterone, "E" is estrogen. The trouble comes from when people really get into the hrt stuff and post random letters of abbreviations. I kind of sit here and just go, what?

Anyone able to translate? I guess I'm not quite hip with the terms and lingo of today's society.

What did you see that you couldn't figure out? You can always ask right in the thread, too.

Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks, and Everything. I am terrible with playing the abbreviated word guessing game. I've even attempted to post some on Google and see what comes up, some stuff not even remotely close lol.

I guess I could speak up and ask. I'm so tragically unhip

I've found that if one types in the word or acronym, and also one or two related words like "trans" or "transgender"...that usually gives more relevant results.
