I was wondering what all the abbreviations mean? I know a few like YMMV, or FMTY. But there are quite a few, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a list so I can understand better what people are referring to. I guess I never learned the ones that dont really apply to me, but since I love lurking around reading the posts and stories on here I'd prefer to learn the lingo a bit better. I tried to google it but Im not even sure what to ask.

Abbreviations
YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary (Some people may like it, some may not)  
FMTY - Fly Me To You

Recently, I asked an escort what NURU + PSE - FS meant in her listing.  While I have an ideal of what PSE and FS stand for.  I wasn't quite sure what that exactly meant in this fashion.  
Instead of answering, she scolded me about wasting her time.  Needless to say, I won't be visiting her.  

and TER does not list them all. But the self-help Q&A (TER Instruction Manual) on the Newbie Board does include a lot of them. See link below. There's a second one for "N-Z."

Once you know what the letters PSE stand for, what services does it include?  Same with GFE.  I know what I consider a GFE experience (and it does not include a raincoat).  But, does my prospective escort define it the same way?

 
The problem with many of these acronyms, is that they are still open to interpretation.

DFK is included.  Back in the day, escorts did not kiss customers.  They would fuck you but not kiss you.  Kissing was considered too intimate.  Go figure.  Slowly, ladies started to add DFK and the acronym for that was GFE.    

 
If a girl was allergic to birth control medications, which was reasonably common 40-50 years ago in the early development stages, Boyfriends/girlfriends often had sex with a condom, so presence or absence of a cover is dependent on other factors which means that GFE does always mean "no cover."  

 
At the time TER was starting up, PSE was most often a code for anal, but now it is also used to indicate BBFS.

That would certainly explain the confusion last week when our frequent OP creator from the UK used that term here, as  many of us were left wondering exactly what it meant. Nice post, Claire. :)
