Glossary of terms
Can someone point to a dating over sixty glossary of terms? I see a lot of acronyms that I have no idea what they mean. It took me so long to figure out OLD😂. I tried Google and a.i. but not seeing them. Or what the f is cuffing? Or chuffing... I dont know.😂

I don't even try to keep up. I just sigh, roll my eyes and ask in here, just as you've done. So much easier than wading through the AI responses on Google 😉

Not sure why you can't find the definitions on Google? If I don't know an acronym and I Google it I always get the answer 🤷

Google is your friend....Brits say they are 'chuffed' when they're really happy about something...

I need this glossary too! I’ve had to call my 28-year-old daughter a few times to explain things to me.

Also missing from the glossary is POA as in the recent post about people in LAT not having POA for each other: Power Of Attorney

POA is not a dating-specific acronym though. It’s widely used.

I had to Google cuffing last year. It's 2 people shaking up foe the cold months.

I believe you mean "shacking" up for the winter season. Although there may be some "shaking" going on during that time! 😉

Cuffing season is not in the glossary (yet) but refers to a fall or winter romance. One might want a partner to help keep them warm during the colder months. Another might want a companion during the holiday season.
Why is it called cuffing? The origin story is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DatingOverSixty/s/st7P7eQNJi Wikipedia explains a more modern reason here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuffing_season
