RE: Re: what does SWBO mean ? - What WAF means



To me, WAF has always been Wife Acceptance Factor which has a subtle but
important difference - it doesn't matter if she likes it or not, so longs as
she _accepts_ it into the house :)
Ultimately though, the net effect is more or less the same in that a high
WAF is desirable and likely to lead to more goodies in the future, whereas a
low WAF is not :]
