Is it accepted practice to shorten Valentine's Day to "VD" when sending text messages/emails? Example: "May your VD be luminous and joyful" or "May every day be VD for you", or "VD well, little brother". More importantly, will the recipient get the joke?
Accepted practice? Surely, you jest?
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not accepted practice. It is mandatory.
I hope your VD was as thrilling as mine!
ReplyDeleteNath: Glad someone else feels that way.
ReplyDeleteB.Ray: Veni, VD, Vici? The advantage of the girlfriend's birthday being the day before Valentine's is that you can ignore the festival hoopla (since everyone know that celebrating on consecutive days is bad for the soul).
not quite man...some may not get it at all!
ReplyDeleteMay you have many more such VD's in future. Each one better than the previous yr?
ReplyDeleteVD cheer to you, Jabs. Spread it around.
ReplyDeletei never get jokes, and i didn't get this one either. but VD somehow expands into Violet Death in my head.
ReplyDeleteanyway, please to be to explain!
Anon: VD is a sweet, friendly little acronym for "venereal disease" (latterly known as "sexually transmitted disease" or STD - hmm, scope for more punning there). But don't fret, "Violet Death" will do just as well...
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a PSA in America in the 60's. American Greetings has made it into a musical Valentine's Day card:
ReplyDeleteVD is for Everybody
The thing to look out for is any sort of silence/odd facial expression/squirming/lag in responding on the part of the recipient of your VD greeting.
ReplyDeleteThen you may want to consider adding this person to your "let's keep it platonic" list.
HVD is the most commonly used abbr for wishing on Val day. But use VD and no one would get your joke. Or the wishes, I doubt.
ReplyDelete"Viddy well (VD), little brother, viddy well." I get the joke man. A Clockwork Orange isn't it? Brutal. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteHave u ever sung " She's got screwed once or twice/ she got taken by surprise/ she's got VD!" to the tune of "She's a lady?"
ReplyDeleteDD
>The advantage of the girlfriend'sbirthday being the day before Valentine's...
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding tacky, I should mention that having your anniversary right after Valentine's is the best case situation. Because not only do you get to do the gift thing once but you can hit all the after-Valentine's sales and save up for the next cricket pay per view.
Ha! Ha! Ha! You are IMPOSSIBLE ... I fell of the chair laughing ... and I am still in splits. This sounds so funny! Hey I missed wishing you .... hope U had a remarkably memorable VD ...and will pray that there are more to come!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
ReplyDeletewhat is VD?!and isn't it a little moronic to wish ppl a happy valentines day.haven't we outfrown that stage as yet?
ReplyDeletei've never had a good "VD" so just being mean ,i guess
ReplyDeletea gf to bf: happy VD from me to u, bf: i thought u were a virgin
ReplyDeletejust being mean ,i guess
ReplyDeleteSavannah: did you get the tone of the post? It's "meaner" than anything you said in your comment. VD is "venereal disease" btw.
