Station of the Word for August
This is supposedly vacation month, but people seem to be really busy finishing up odds and ends at work so they can leave, packing for a vacation, getting ready for school to start - or leave for school - and time is a premium.
Because we are so rushed, we often speak in shorthand.
This month, create a shorthand acronym, a shorthand abbreviation suitable for twitter, or a shorthand family definition.
Examples: of an acronym - SONAR (SOund NavigationAnd Ranging)
. . . of an abbreviation - LOL -Laughing Out Loud
. . . of family shorthand - pulling a Brenda
Now it's your turn.
When you have one figured out - one you might consider using in your writing, prose or verse - please post it under commentsbelow.
