Alan,
Thanks for the big help! At least that way I'm prepared for my future trip to the States. I must say, that a lot of those things sound very familiar tho... I guess it isn't limited to american women...

Now I know what to say about our national tennis woman: Justine Henin is very atlethic...

Just a few more:

Happily married:   she's happy, you're married
Fairytale wedding: married to a witch...

Been twice Larry, some don't like it but I think it's awesome. Been a couple of years so we're probably due to go see them again as it takes a while for them to change the show, might be some new material since we saw them last.

ps. The kids loved it too, my daughter caught the catapulted jello.

There are many, some of which are somewhat particular to this site, like:

MBFTYB = my boats faster than your boat

TNMABHWB = Tim never met a boat he wouldn't buy

NSIFOHIAL = Never stand if front of Hollywood in a line

IGTB-YGTG = I'll get the beer, you get the gas.

And many others.

Actually, Blue Man Group does a parody of just such computer dialogue abbreviations in their show that is pretty amusing. Any of you in the greater Boston, Chicago, NY, Vegas or Florida areas been to a Blue Man Group show. Hugely entertaining. I recommend it to anyone. Great music, great show, great humor.

Guys,

As I always try to improve my English, I want to ask you to explain to me some abreviations used on this site... Pfff, sms-language...

I already know these: BTW, IMO, IMHO, PITA and even FUBAR...

But there is still much to learn...

Thanks,
Kristof
