This afternoon.
Singer and model Nick Kamen.
Denim-washing dreamboat who, in one 30-second, boxer short-clad commercial, helped revive sales of Levis 501 jeans while killing off the y-front for a generation.
RIP.
Any excuse.

Ah no. A ridiculously pretty young man BITD who made the most of his 15 minutes. RIP
ACO, ITMB to keep up with the acronym explosion of recent years, but I had to Google BITD to see WTF that was about.
Are we approaching a situation where communication will be almost entirely by acronyms:
Only last night herself says to me, it’s Tuesday, DYPOTB.
I said IWGLTC all day, will you GIAR and DBAM, and anyway WDYDI.
She said IWIMH to which I replied, ACO, YJTTP.
I thought FI, IDIM.
And these says I can’t even call yer man and say AYGFAP?
sweet Jesus, I’m guessing the worst for those,
I like the go for a pint one….I’d never guess that wrong

did you put out the bins….I’m gonna win this
glued to the couch
then I went off piste, but you must be very bendy and have a strong stomach… enjoyed that

Some acronyms and portmanteau words serve a useful purpose: ‘Brexit’ is much more convenient than describing that process with a phrase. But the point I’m trying to make (TPITTM…I’ll stop now), is that many acronyms are quite subjective. They don’t grow on trees, someone has to make them up, but they aren’t always obvious to others – and are often used as a badge or reflection of how clued in the user is to the topic – or just being cool generally!
So I reserve the right to create my own TYVM…damn.
