To be pedantic it should be 2B, As it stands it reads 2 bees.

I think I would rather be a BOS (boring old sod) and write it properly, I think this sort of
messaging is ideal for those who can’t spell that’s why they use it.

 

[kevenh]

What’s SHMO all about?
In the context I see it used on this forum I think users mean SWMBO - She Who Must Be Obeyed
But I can’t reverse engineer what SHMO is in full
