Hello Ladies,
I'm pretty ignorant to net lingo. So will you please tell me what LEO means and is it always capitalized? I've seen it a few times lately. If you want, go ahead and share anything else new as to this language.
Thanks!! In advance.
Peace Out,
C.
Thanks everyone. I had no idea it could mean so many things B - thanks for taking time. Thanks WW, LOL just meant I'm ignorant in this area. And yes I did see a mom's post with this, but then I saw if a couple times after that. I guess I should've put it together but I just call LEO police so it just didn't gel for me. But now I know.
Okay, I just read another post and so quickly went through the rest and clicked the link to the LEO question -- well, I had no idea because I didn't look at it before and honestly I like others, thought she was talking about the fire sign of Leo. She misunderstood Wild Woman and I wasn't sure what to think of it or why she would say that, she practically attacked her. Well, anyway just sayin'.
Yeah, I commented on the LEO post. Seems like she was borderline flaming and I so stated.
When I first saw the subject line, I thought she was talking about the zodiac. So I opened it up to read as Tyler is a Leo. Nope. She wanted to know if people were married to law enforcement.
I love to learn and I can learn some really good things from mom's on here!!

You are NOT ignorant. Stop.
LEO in all caps - usually refers to a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). Police. Cop. Fuzz (I think that dates me)
Leo - would NORMALLY mean a Leo from the astrology/horoscope side. I think you are referring to the post where a W. asked if there were any spouses of LEO's?? She was referring to Law Enforcement Officers.
LEO all caps is always law enforcement officer. I don't use the term, seems like people who use it are trying to project some image that they are on the inside unlike us outsiders that say cop or officer.
I know a lot of cops, had a friend killed in the line of duty, heck my great uncle was killed in the line of duty forever ago. Her question struck me as wahh I don't feel as important as the wives of police in St Louis!! I found her question, as simple as it was, insulting. My city is being destroyed, anyone jealous of the attention the police wives are getting here has a screw loose!
Law enforcement officer ?
At this time if you see it or hear it they're talking about the law officers of any type, it's the general abbreviation for anyone that's a law official right now.
I use Leo as a shortened version of Leotard. Referring to a dance leo or gymnastics leo.
Somebody put a question up about this - I didn't know either but someone specified Law Enforcement Officer. I think it covers more than "police" such as ATF and DEA officers, for example.
