Wedding Dress Nwt

Visiting coupon, refunding or bargain sites may, at first, seem

like visiting a foreign country. You see phrases such as:

GDA! BBW B&M BOGO on soaps, HTH

And you think WHAT? Huh? What are they talking about? What

language is THAT?

(Translation: Good Deal Alert! Bath & Body Works

brick-and-mortar store has buy-one-get-one on soaps, hope this

helps!)

I mean, it's enough to make you want to TYHO!

(Tear Your Hair Out - I made that one up.)

Before you click away in frustration, let me reassure you that

it IS possible to speak like a native - you just need a guide to

the terminology, acronyms, abbreviations, definitions and common

word usage found on rebate and premium product lists, coupon and

online code lists, and refunding and trading forums.

Each site you visit may have its own particular phrases, but

generally speaking the most common terms are found in the list
