I am an obviously new free-per so just wondering what you’re referring to when you say MSM imbeciles, JMHO, and OT. Are you referencing news shows? I’m trying to learn the etiquette and some of the lingo used on this website. Thanks much. It’s easy to overstep while getting my feet wet and my face red. you guys are not shy about setting us newbies straight right off. That’s a good thing.
MSM = main stream media
JMHO = just my humble opinion
OT= I’m not sure. Someone else may know.
I meant to say ‘welcome to free republic.’
You found one of the better links for Sunday TV news shows for analysis and comments on the programs. Jump in and enjoy it.
Sorry for the delayed response (Grandma and I run a business that keeps me jumping most of the day) but it seems that Morgan has covered everything but the
OT = Off Topic, as in a diversion from the original point/object of the thread.
Also, allow me to add my Welcome to FR.
Lots of good stuff going on here, although my personal preferences run to Lurking (aka reading through threads without necessarily entering into the “conversation”). One word of warning: there may be a bit of an edge to some responses lately, mostly due to some elevated emotions surrounding the political campaign, so don’t take things said in the heat of the moment personally.
(Did I mention that I do a lot of understatement as an excuse for dry wit?)
See ya around the playground.
BZ (= Navy BRAVO ZULU or in this case Best Regards)
LOL, just as I read your explanation I remembered it. I probably would have remembered had I read it in some context where it would have jogged my lame memory. OT, = Off Topic, = Of course!!! Stupid me.
I also agree on the lurking and the Sunday Thread. I usually don’t comment on other topics during the week although I too kind of lurk to see what’s being posted and talked about. It allows me to use the source for information rather than the FR website.
