    The other 2 are smilies which should be self explanatory?
    I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy

    You'll find almost any acronym/abbreviation in common use on http://www.urbandictionary.com/ but I should warn you that all sorts are written on there and it can be very explicit!

    As for SWMBO, you might also see SWIMBO, which has the "Immediately" added to the standard definition.

    This appeared after I posted.

    I thought the matter you are referring to was done and dusted and we had all moved on. But if it is still an issue for you, then we can get the moderators involved an let them sort it out?

    Up to you fella.

    Oh dear. I thought the laughing smiley would explain that it was a joke! No, we don't have to go anywhere, it was just an off the cuff comment in the name of humour! Chill Winston!

    Deary me indeed. Such an off the cuff comment, you took the time to think, then type it.

    And it has provoked a reaction. so mission accomplished. Congratulations.
