I admit to being a frequent FFS and WTF user. And of course there were my first few confused days when this Aussie though DH stood for something completely different :D The two are not mutually exclusive.. what's the alternative then?

IMNSHO, the H in the acronym IMHO stands for humble (and the N and the S in my own stand for not so). HTH. HAND. (Hope this helps. Have a nice day.)

I do like WTF too and on occasion use it in spoken conversation. I once made a sign saying "DND" to put on my desk and people would interrupt me to ask what it meant... the irony! A good STFU is always quite satisfying... I used to be a bit of a gamer, so a lot of that creeps in - ftw (for the win) is best used ironically, as in "Emirates ID cards ftw!". I'm surprised there aren't more "kktnxbb" used here - it's a generally dismissive put-down (ok, yeah, thanks. Bye!)... or "pwned" for that matter... and the orly-yarly exchange... ... and the good old action emote /golfclap

Oh lordy...we have been doing a crash course for the last 2 weeks on what is appropriate language for 6 year olds. And having done orientation today at school, I can only hope our lessons stick. Lil miss's new teacher is fresh off the boat from blighty!

LSHIFOMCASMH (laughing so hard I fell off my camel and spilt my hummos) FFS is still a personal fav, but it does upset some. As does WTF ;) FFS! Is my favourite too. You can just hear the exasperation. It's beautifully eloquent :)
