| Boy, sorry for the confusion; I only used FDS for Flower Drum song because I thought it had been used here, like MFL for My Fair Lady; I'll be more careful/explicit in the future( I also learned a lot by looking at the other meanings from urban slang. It's a whole new world out there' | |

| You made it clear in your post that the acronym FDS referred to a show that was nominated for Best Musical Tony in the same season as Redhead so I don't think there was really any confusion. I assume that all the responses to your post were intended to be humorous. At least I hope they were because the comments I made were in the spirit of going along with the joke. | |

| I think a good one is to only use acronym for current running shows. I usually spell one word to clue people in like flowerDS | |

| I don’t think if I used DRS or TLS or ABT it would be that simple to figure out right away what musical I was referring to. | |

| Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Last Ship, A Bronx Tale. It took me about 30 minutes to figure these acronyms out. IMO to make communication on the board easier, acronyms should not be used for play or musical titles unless the title is repeated in the post. | |

| as the self-appointed guardian of that maxim, let me say that before I use an acronym I scrutinize the title for a word that will do. So I find TKAM abhorrent, since Mockingbird works just fine. MFL works for me because you can't really call it by any of the words and make sense. Fiddler is of course immediately understandable although I seem to recall someone referring to it as FOTR and that caused me a some fierce agita. Flower Drum Song, I am pretty sure I have never had occasion to type before now. | |
