Wiseman2 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 So many neologisms and acronyms for different types of cheating? Plain old english is much easier to read. 1
EPC82 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Wait! I though OP was "original poster"? No? If these acronyms are interchangeable than the whole thing breaks down. Haha!! 1

FMW Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 OP usually means Original Poster or Original Post from my experience here. 5
Fletch Lives Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 It's considered better writing if you just write the word out rather than abbreviate it. 1
mark clemson Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Nice list, although you forgot "affair partner" - AP. 1

mark clemson Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 @Wiseman2 I think it would be fair to say they are used frequently on internet relationship/infidelity forums, but less so in other circles. So pretty context-dependent. 1 1
