    I’ll never eat fig jam again.

    One of my favourite acronyms came from House of Sand and Fog (the book). The main character was complaining about an old boyfriend she called Lombard … Lots Of Money, But A Real Dick.

    re: bt dubs- that’s it? No explanation of why or where from? You force me to go look it up myself for the history. Because that’s what all super hip people do when they hear new terminology… right?

    I don’t know the freaking origins, I didn’t make it up. I read an article in some men’s magazine (Details, GQ or something like that) and there was this super funny article about when older women pretend to act young. It talked about how to spot them, and one way was how they sent text messages. BT dubs was in it and I thought it was funny. It’s my homage to the article. There! Are you happy?? -CS

    straight from Urban dictionary:
    BT Dubs is an abbreviation of “by the way”. Saying “bee tee double you” just sounds lame. Therefore, this was an absolutely necessary addendum to the dictionary of abbreviations.

    Yes, it’s important and magical.

    BT Dubs, thanks for reporting back. -CS
