Hi What's the meaning of "RIP"?I know that it's a kind of a short form for a sentence, and it contents by three words.By the way . Is there any rule of this short sentence form ?Thanks .Herc_________________I Can Go the Distance...

Hi HercR.I.P. means 'Rest in peace.'No, there is no general rule for this. Some expressions simply become commonly represented as abbreviations. Another example is RSVP -- which is actually an abbreviation of a French sentence. You may have also seen IOU which means 'I owe you'. Sometimes abbreviations turn into nouns: SNAFU --> a snafu.Amy

What about BOGOF?What do you reckon that means?A

Thanks Amy ... You are my " great " teacher --------------------------------------------Alan What's that "BOGOF" ?Hope that you will explain it Thanks

(truly no clue, but had fun trying)"Well you tried to trick us with your devious heart,So you're better off gone, you old fart."-----Slang terms for dying:- Kicked the bucket- Bought the farmSlang term for a dead person:- Worm food hehe_________________Billie Jean is not my lover.

crapso close, and yet so far. hehe

Only in English speaking countries. In other parts of the world, R.I.P. is the abbreviation for 'Requiescat in Pace', which is Latin for 'Rest in Peace'. Convenient coincidence, isn't it?
