OT - Is PMI some kind of Net shorthand?

[ritehook]

It was in an email. I don't know if it supposed to be some Netspeak abbreviation or refers to some kind of orgainzation. And hate to show my lack of hipness by asking,

it was used, as in, "I did it PMI and no problem"

Never heard of it, but it seems that anything can become an acronym nowadays...

If you are from Canada maybe she met PEI for Prince Edward Island. What she did in Prince Edward Island with no problems I guess would be for her to know and you to assume. That's the closest thing I can think of

That list shed a lot of light on the internet abbreviations. Im not "down" with all the internet slang and I found out what a few things Ive see meant after looking at that list.

Ok gents. Thanks for the trying, anyway.

Must be an acronym for an organziation, maybe in Mexico. Postal Mexicanos International . . . who knows

private mortgage insurance, but it doesn't make sense in context.

if you put less than 20% down on a house, typically you have to have PMI. so i guess if the email was in regards to the ways to buy a home w/o putting down 20%, it could make sense.

Pre-Menstrual Interrogation, used to get 'em all the time from the Mrs. in the PMY (Pre-Menopause Years) when I'd drag myself in at 11 o'clock at night after I was supposed to be stopping off at the pub after work for JAFPL (Just A Few Pints, Love). Whenever it happened, I'd turn to the cats and tell 'em, "Well boys, it's going to be a tough weekend ahead of us. Let's all SOTC (Sleep On The Couch)."

The email did have to do with postage, and in Mexico.So I'm thinking it's something like Private Mail Insurence, or Postal Mexicanos Insurance.

None of those mentioned in the link, but good lead, got me thinking
