I just looked it up too, and Google brought me back to this SDMB thread. I’ll put it here so the next person won’t have to click the link and scan that referenced ATMB Doper thread, or the [Glossary](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298) (although that’s the definitive place to go for such answers!). **MMP: Monday Morning Post** From that [Glossary](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298): _“MMP – Monday Morning Post.

Sometimes “Guest MMP” or “Member MMP””_ (7 yrs, 19 days later, I do realize. Merry Christmas, everyone!) ---
