Huh? I thought you meant "Gramma" which is the short form for grandmother I think.

no i meant because Rob had started a thread complaining about people spelling things wrongly and spelt the most important word in the header wrong. He spelt Grammar as Grammer

Correct Way: "I'm going to lie down now."

These could become "I hope to lay that young bird at the bar, but I will have to lie to the wife tonight"

Now you are all confused as hell, like.

Yep, I will have to lie to mywife tonight because I have to lie in bed with my ex.

Thanks for the post RobWin! My grammar and spelling is awful
and I blame everyone except myself!

I hate to ask but I could really use an "acrynoyms" (sp?) list.
There are so many used here I rarely know what anyone is saying
If anyone has a "casino speak" list it would be greatly appreciated!

Some of these come from texting, as well as those that are genuine "casino speak".

Common examples of "casino speak" are:-

WR - Wagering Requirement

D+B - Deposit PLUS Bonus, when referring to the principal that the WR is applied to.

SUB - Sign Up Bonus, or the bouns offered for NEW players at any casino or group.

F U Clause - Casino Speak for "you haven't actually broken any rules, but you must have "scammed" us, so F*** You, we STILL aint paying". This is usually done by quoting a wooly clause that allows the casino to do anyting at "management discresion", and such clauses are called " F U Clauses"

Perhaps these need to be housed in a forum information section, updated whenever new acronyms pop up.

Thanks VWM! I wanted to ask in a new thread, but did not think
it was all that important.. I usally figure most of them out eventually..
but there are still many I would like to know.

I guess they are more bad words and less casino speak!
I saw a few people get banned for a few letters and got worried. I hope I never
spell something wrong and curse someone by accident!
