in General discussion
You could be forgiven for thing we are all discussing some mad sport. Something like a cross between mahjong and gymnastics? 
" I've got a concealed kong of Eastlands and I'm going to do a double overhead flip with rads on the dismount. You?"
"Oh, as far as we know it's a pair of white dragons. Own wind as well. Thinking about a running front layout but might do a back roll instead."
Then the rules suddenly change and we all have to learn a few dressage moves as well...
PS. I don't know anything about Mahjong and we could raise money selling tickets to watch me trying to do a somersault

    you are right - we can use our acronyms and abbreviations with each other.  Just like a secret language. 
    Not needing chemo, I must admit to being a bit (completely) lost when I read the posts from ladies going through chemotherapy.  It is a whole new language and one which I am grateful not to understand but so in awe of those wonderful women who do.  Jane xx

    @Zoffiel, I love reading your posts. You have an insanely good sense of humour. And yes it is like a secret language but with your write up I read it and had Roy and HG (comedians)  commentating in my head. Bwahahaha. Xx

    It's a whole new language, which is why we have a glossary on our website. And then we abbreviate everything lol.
