Hi,

GMBO (giggling my **** off)
What does it mean?


I've never heard this, but it's easy o understand. It just means you are very amused. The image to imagine is that you are laughing so hard, your *** falls off.

In what case do you use this acronym? Abbreviations (it's not an acronym) like this are commonly u

Clive, why would you say that GMBO is an abbreviation, not an acronym? I thought if you take the first letters of several words and form a new word (MADD=Mothers Against Drunk Driving, AIDS=Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), then it is an acronym. Whereas if you just abbreviate a long word (int'l=international, qty=quantity, econ=economics) then it's an abbreviation?

Because GMBO does not make a new word, it is just a collection of letters. Perhaps if they had managed to sneak an I in there somehow to make GIMBO, that would be an acronym. Hmmm...Giggling my immense **** off?

Hi,

Yes, as Nona said, an acronym makes a word, in the sense that you pronounce the letters together as a word.

FBI We pronounce it 'eff bee eye'

NATO We pronounce it 'naytoh', like potato

Best wishes, Clive

If you suppress the sound of the G enough, I suppose your **** could fall off. (Mine just did.)
