Please excuse my ignorance....

But what is NSV & the other one I see a lot is TOM? :blushing:

juliec33

Non-Scale Victory and Time of Month......took me a while to figure out the NSV too :-)

lovarie

NSV = Non-Scale Victory

TOM = Time Of the Month

Don't feel bad; my friend just explained TOM to me 2 seconds ago!

emilyc85

NSV= Non Scale Victory

TOM= Time Of Month (period)

it takes a bit to catch onto to the abbreviations

nomorewinencheese

Thats pretty C O O L... nice abbreviations..

Haha! Of course it is how silly if me thankyou all I can now read without frustratingly trying to work it out :laugh:

also, "bump" means I'm not really commenting, but I want to say something on the thread so this shows up in my feed and I can come back to it later. That one took me a while, too, even though it is an Internet standard.

Actually no...BUMP is an acronmy for Bring Up My Post....a way for the OP (Original Poster) to "BUMP" it back to a thread that is frequently seen due to popularity. Everyone who BUMPs so they can find it later is completely misusing the term.

Example my NSV today is `getting a t shirt that is smaller than the last one`

TOM...dang I just put on a lot of water weight...hope it goes soon

Yes, I'm sure you are right, but people use it that way, too. And yes, people bump to keep it at the top so others can see and post. I forgot about that reason. I've seen more of the other later. Thanks for the correction.

Thank you for answering my questions too! I'm new here.. can someone tell me what macro and micro mean??

Thank you for the education. I thought that "V" in NSV stood for victory but hadn't figured out the rest. I work in a world of acronyms but was stumped by a few I would see on these posts.

meg7399

also, any acronmy you see is generally just an internet acronym as opposed to MFP specific and you can google it and find what you are looking for!
