I hate to confess that I adore trashy historical novels and I was cruising around the blog of a romance author, Maya Rodale and she was writing about a museum she had visited in Kensington Palace: http://mayarodale.com/blog/?p=27. There she saw an exhibition about the debutantes of the British upper class. They used some wonderful abbreviations such as: FU: Financially Unsound MTF: Must Touch Flesh (They did not explain why one used this phrase. Any ideas?) NSIT: Not Safe In Taxis. (This, of course, referred to certain “gentlemen.”) VVSITPQ: Very Very Safe In Taxis Probably Queer! I love them!
