I'm assuming that it no longer means "Fix my Lighthouse"? Or "Follow my Lead"? Or "Forgot my Lamington"? No, don't tell me...I can guess!
Crikey...I don't think I could communicate effectively with anyone (except maybe fool-ish?! ) if Urban Dictionary didn't exist!
Aside from acronyms, there's also always a problem when you use a term while not knowing of its original meaning. My same son was playing football at university with his team of fellow teachers-in-training. One bright spark thought they should be known as "The Rock Spiders" seeing as they were all very good players and could get through all of the small cracks within their opposition's defence. This made sense to me, and my son, and we both thought it very clever until my husband read yet another Facebook post that mentioned Rock Spiders...and we discovered that it's apparently a term used to name paedophiles ...and not the most appropriate name to be connected to a group of young would-be male teachers!
