Waf? (1 Viewer)

[BrianB]

Okay, I've been hanging out here for a while. I know J6P. There's a new anacronym being used in the hardware sections that I don't know though - WAF. What's it mean? C'mon, let me in on the joke

AKA: SAF = Spousal Acceptance Factor

aka: Wife Acceptance Factor
My wife uses her own acronym - BSN - B**ch Says No. :frowning:

The term "WAF" isn't new, but it seems to be enjoying a revival. It's probably a sign of the rapidly spreading HT epidemic. Or perhaps the rise of a new generation of husbands properly trained to say, "Yes, dear".

From today's Boston Globe:
Boston Globe: WAF
I think we've all been there at some point...
How come there's no HAF? (You want to get curtains that cost how much???)

Tim: ROFLMAO!

How come there's no HAF? (You want to get curtains that cost how much???)

Oh but there is! You just don't see it on a male-dominated forum On a few other forums I visit, dominated by females, you see this term quite often.

 

[Tim Fennell]

The trick for curtains would be to get them and install them and if I noticed they were new, I could ask about the cost. She'd get away with that one every time...

I don't understand why there has to be an "AF" either way.

If you're making your own money, spend it any way you damn well please.

 

[Tim Fennell]

It's not about the cost. I can afford just about any equipment I want at this point...

It is about the way it looks in a shared space. If I made a special HT room I could equip it with monoblocks and a projection screen but that isn't what I want to do. So we deal with the looks/function issues...

This is the sort of stuff divorces are made of.

I've been around her e for a while, and know waht WAF means. But, I've always been trying to find out what J6P means. Anyone?

WAF = Winnebagos Are Fun.

I have no idea how it morphed into "Wife Acceptance Factor". Shame.

 

[Ricardo C]

Two things I've learned from the 2+ years I've been into HT:
1. I'm damn glad to be single.
2. I must complete my dream HT BEFORE getting married

I must complete my dream HT BEFORE getting married

People just need to learn to marry less typical women. My wife (we just got married, it feels weird to say it still) spends WAAAAAAY more than me on DVDs (by a factor of 5-to-1). She leans on me to take care of the technical stuff for the HT, but she's the real movie person.

 

[Eric_L]

I found the magic-key to WAF in my home - Netflix.

My wife has been surfing it and now has 30 movies in our cue.

nirvana!

I must complete my dream HT BEFORE getting married

Unfortunately, that's no guarantee. A friend of mine had a pretty nice system - Sony CRT front projector, Mirage OM-6 Tower speakers, Def-Tech CLR-3000 - the works, when he was single. He went and got himself married, and due to WAF, I am now the new owner of his FP and Def-Tech, and another friend picked up the Mirages. He's been reduced to a 34" direct-view with those cute mini-monitors that women tend to go for.
