Who Is Pmom?

Pmom

Pmom

Who is Pmom and what does “Pmom” stand for? The answer to this may be something for me to know and you to wonder,* but in the interest of disambiguation, I offer the following helpful list of what/who Pmom is not:

If you’ve been paying attention it should be obvious–naming myself Pmom had no reference whatsoever to the PlayMate of the Month sort of Pmom. (Yes, I was chagrined to learn this acronym just the other day. Bummer. Moral: Always google your prospective online identity before adopting it.)

Pmom is also not: Parallel Methods of Moments, nor Peninsula Mothers of Multiples, nor a Performance Management Operations Manual, nor a Philip Morris Put Option. And, although these look like nice people, Pmom can’t claim the identity of either this random blogger or this MySpace user.

    My favorite backronyms:
    * pretty, merry, orderly & modest
    * periodically my obstreperous madam
    * perfect matriarch, only more
    * philosophical, magical, omniscient & masterful

    well, even for pmom omniscient is a bit of a stretch.

    of course, the backronym that takes the cake is:
    * playmate of the month (a month that has now lasted over 10 years)

    I think it is philosophy mom :)

    I like that, but it would be a little presumptuous, don’t you think?

    I, too, have always thought of you as philosophy Mom — and no, it’s not presumptuous when you have a PhD from Notre Dame! I wish I knew how to bold that.

    I have to agree that I’m not sure what is presumptuous about the word “philosophy” as an adjective. Maybe if you were bpmomintw (best philosopher mom in the world) that would be presumptuous.
