AWB = Average White Boat e.g Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria
MAB = Manky auld Boat e.g 1972 Twister or Tradewind 35 etc
SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed
HWMBO = obviously means He Who Must Be Obeyed
LOL = Lots of Laughs (I think)
AFAIK = As Far As I Know
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
PRAT = specific description of the forumite WeeJimi
Cheers, Brian.

hi Peter
AWB = Average white boat (or BenJenBav)
MAB = Manky Auld boat (or "classic") possibly coined by WeeJimi, Patron Saint of AWB's and rudder stock
