Ladies, maybe I spend too much time on the board...

Here are some emails between my mother and me today:

Mom: That Purple Greyish bottle of Shampoo - I should have the name of it, but I don't. Would you get me another big bottle? Thanks.

Me: Okay. I will pick one up. They have them at all the BSS if you are ever in a bind, though. I can get you one from around here they are sometimes a few dollars cheaper.

Mom: okay. What does BSS stand for?

When I typed BSS I was not even aware of it. It was nothing for me to type our acronyms without a thought. It has become 2nd nature

Have you ever done anything like that?

 

[glamazon386]

Yeah... I said BSS and my friends looked at me like I had 3 heads.

 

[kittenz]

I did the same thing to my friend in church. We were passing notes and i wrote:

Wanna go the BSS after service?

She replied:

Yup. What's the BSS?

OMG!
The other Sunday at dinner my sister was talking about how dry my little neice's scalp was. My mom's husband said, "why don't you use the pink lotion...Oh snap, I forgot that was garbage (and looked over at me!)

i had chuckle at that. I can just imagine her just catching on that she doesn't even know what you're talking about and yet she said 'yup'. lol.

A few weeks ago my daughter (who is getting married in May) told me she had concerns about her BC. Being on the hair board all day I was like . . . erplexed erplexed erplexed???? When did she decide to do the Big Chop???? her hair is beautiful ya'll. So I asked her, Ummm DD, when did you decide to chop off all your hair. She said mom, "what are YOU talking about. I'm trying to figure out when to stop taking my birth control because I want to get pregnant right away." How could I have not known what SHE was talking about .

 

[TriniStarr]

NO....this past weekend visit at home my sister and i was talking about shampoos and what shampoo do i use...so i was telling her and gave her my hair reigmen...so when i started to tell about prepooing. she was like you put DOG POO in your hair before shampooing. i was like NO. its short for pre-shampooing your hair before using shampoo.

 

[It~Can~Grow]

This is funny. We have similar acronyms at the office: HTH, NP, YW., so it's really second nature.

All my girlfriends are heavy, like myself, so we've been under-cover for years...with "did you see those cute jeans at LB?"

We could never let the skinny ladies know our secret source, Lane Bryant.

So you must have schooled some folks on the pink stuff! LOL

My BF always make comments about the board. Now has been using Kenra Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and Aveda USC (from my PJ stash). He said the other day, I bet your hair girls would be proud. I was like, they are not thinkin' bout you!

[Mook's hair]

Yup. I was explaining my transitioning hair to a friend and I told her I don't plan to BC, I'm just gonna grow it out.

Not realizing that transition and BC are code-words.

It makes me think of that texting commercial. you know the one where the old grandmom says...

"IDK,my BFF Rose"

Classic!

 

[MrsWatson]

I sent my boyfriend to Wal-Mart the other day to pick up some things...on my list i wrote "EVOO"....He called me from the store asking what the hell EVOO was...I was like" thats how we refer to it on LHCF" and all he could say was for me to leave the code talk on LHCF....

It all starts to run together after a while...

I had my sister wandering around the BSS looking for ORS. I feel silly saying Organic Root Stimulator.

My bff and I were talking about shampoo. She said she wanted to use a less drying shampoo. So I told her to refrain from using shampoos with SLS and use CON to start out. She was like WTH is SLS and CON. Sad thing is I didn't even know the actual names, I am so used to the acronyms. U should have seen me googling!

 

[tapioca_pudding]

I do this all the time.. I get so frustrated trying to write out product suggestions for people.... 'Orrrrrgaaaaannnnnnnic Roooooooot Stiiiimmuuullaaattoorrrrrrrrr' <~ that's how it feels when I write it, like it takes forever!!


I'm always talking about DC'ing my hair. My mom was like 'What is that, some kinda new relaxer??'

And I have said "I'm not really a big poo type of girl" enough times to have my bowel habits questioned!!

 

[Empress Yahudah]

I do this all the time forgetting and then have to back track and explain what it is or have to be realy mindful to say it in full.
Funny thing is I my 15 yr old sister talks in hair codes too because of me and has to remember to say it in full to others aswell.

this had me cracking up.

 

[Tayw29]

This thread is hilarious I really dont have that problem because the only perosn I talk to about hair is my BF and she is a member of BHM so she knows what I'm talking about if and when we discuss hair. But I'm sure I will get caught up with the acronyms soon enough

 

[Jay]

All of these stories are really funny.
I was walking on my campus posting up flyers one day and as I was posting my flyers I was glancing at the others. The only thing that stood out to me on this one flyer was MTG @ 5 in St. Joes. I got all excited because i'm thinking its the hair MTG, so my friend walks by and I was like "GIRL they're giving out MTG at 5." She was like huh?? Then I felt really dumb. I had so many experiences with this mtg abbreviation lately it's ashame

I feel like that too sometimes. . . like "i just HAVE to tell someone" something like such & such is having a sale or some bss just got in a shipment of something. . . but I don't know any hair boar people in real life. when i say things to normies, they just look @ me like it is NOT that serious.

the second bolded made me laugh out loud.

 

[Forbidden]

Ya'll have me on the floor. I try to limit my hair convos to my friends who are lurkers here. I do have some slip-ups every now and then.
