TMI = Too Much Information
ETA = Edited to add (when you edit your entry)

You dont really see NC used that often, but NC-17 basically means...adult fanfiction. features sexual situations ;)...making sense?

*glomps*

no need to be embarrassed! took me forever and you don't want to know the words i filled in until i found out. ;)

TMI - To Much Information

GIP - Gratuitous Icon Post

ETA - Edited to Add (or Include)

and i'm still not too sure on the NC.

:)

Thanks hon. I was embarrased because I've used those words myself without actually knowing what they meant. often_adamanta once said something about d/s relationship in her lj and I thought she was talking about Draco/Snape lol.

NC for No Children perhaps?

*glomps you back*

it might mean not censored.

I found this at http://hometheaterinfo.com/mpaa.htm

NC-17:"No One 17 And Under Admitted."
This rating declares that the Rating Board believes that this is a film that most parents will consider patently too adult for their youngsters under 17. No children will be admitted.

So I suppose it means No Children <17 (?)

*wants more NC-17 from you*

NC17: NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED
from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nc17).

Got it.

But what words do they actually stand for? No Children? Or some obscure Latin words? *giggles*
