She Who Must Be Obeyed.
I've rather enjoyed its absence in this new venue, it always had a slight edge that it might not just be in jest..

It was never said in jest. Ignore it at your peril.

I like the term swmbo, tongue in cheek admission from most of us that we know exactly who's in charge in our respective castle's, despite outward appearances to the contrary.
As for text talk, can't abide it.

but is LOL laugh out loud, or lots of love?
Need to make sure you know which way the recipient will take it!!
LOL
maybe..

From Wikipedia -
"While certain biographical details are slightly different in the original TV series and the subsequent book series, Horace Rumpole has a number of definite character traits that are constant. First and foremost, Rumpole loves the courtroom. Despite attempts by his friends and family to get him to move on to a more respectable position for his age, such as a QC or a Circuit Judge (referred to as Queer Customers and Circus Judges by Rumpole), he only enjoys the simple pleasure of defending his clients at The Old Bailey, London's central criminal court: "the honour of being an Old Bailey Hack," as he describes his work. A devotee of Arthur Quiller-Couch's Oxford Book of English Verse, he often quotes Wordsworth and secretly calls his wife Hilda "She Who Must Be Obeyed" (SWMBO), a reference to the novel She by H. Rider Haggard.[1]"

Me neither.
Not too keen on SWMBO, either.
I always have this urge to put a vowel in it, leading to 'swimbo'.
Combining this and the music thread would give us SNAFU which is, I believe, an acronym used by the American forces.
It's certainly an American band from the 1970s who were really rubbish.

I used the term SWMBO on "the other site" a few times and made the mistake of telling SWMBO and she went ballistic - which kind of proves the point really :-) I could only have done worse by putting "the missus".

>>It's certainly an American band from the 1970s who were really rubbish.
I saw them once in Sheffield in the 1970s. Can't remember much about it.
However wiki says they are British with lots of links to other British bands of the era.

crocks,
I'm not keen on wiki, but I daresay it's right on this one.
Should have checked, but I still say they were rubbish.
Cheers.

>>Should have checked, but I still say they were rubbish.
I'm not doubting that. I've seen lots of rubbish bands in my time.
I was just intrigued by all the musical links in the article.
But getting back to acronyms and their meanings.
1st album SNAFU
2nd album Situation Normal
3rd album All Funked Up
|
...All Funked Up...
Funked?
Seems I was wrong about the acronym as well. :)

I've been known to use the phrase swimbo bimbo before.
I'm quite safe, she doesn't come back until tomorrow.

You don't have to fill in the car make/model. The blurb to the right of the pull down boxes says "Enter a category OR car make/model that best suits your post In future this will assist in showing relevant car information"

I like the corruption She Who Must Be Indoors... I must have watched too much Minder! I'm also single, which may explain why I can get away with posting that.
