I find mimes quite disturbing

Probably three letter acronyms, which is not strictly correct an acronym is an abbreviation that spells a word, not just 3 letters strung together.

Yes, but it's not very affectionate in my opinion.

I don't. I know it's like a Masonic thing to post something like this and feel really smug and clever " 'cos you know and we don't" but I really can't see the point if 99% of the rest of us haven't got the slightest idea what you're on about?

SEP is "Someone Else's Problem" (from one of the Hitchhikers books IIRC).


I presume F is fornication or some synonym
