Lately I’ve noticed on SDMBs references to posters’ “MMP”. I have no idea what that means. Urban Dictionary didn’t help. Will someone please bring me up to speed? ---

Monday Morning Post, as seen [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298). It’s a thing some people do. ---

I think the original author and the MMP reference itself was first given it by our dearly missed Rue deDay. He’d start a new, always entertaining one every Monday and folks would jump in and talk about, well, anything. Nowadays a different contributor can get one going each week but, as always, pretty much anything goes in them. While there is somewhat of a regular community that posts to it each week, anyone and everyone is welcome to join in. ---

Since the MMP is a uniquely Straight Dope thing (as far as I know), I’ve moved this thread to ATMB. ---

MMP = Milking Many Posts. It refers to a string of cute answers that follow the actual answer to the question. 😃 ---

It’s actually an upside down dWW. Now what THAT means is an exercise left for the reader. ---

If you were confused by MMP, you probably want to check out the **[Beginner’s Guide to Glossary of Terms on Straight Dope Message Boards](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298)**, which includes that and others. That thread itself is linked from the ATMB sticky [FAQs - Please Read First - Rules, Guidelines, Etiquette, Technical Issues](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=562482), which if you haven’t read yet you should definitely check out. ---

Derp. From the phrasing, I assumed that was a link to an example MMP, not to the glossary.
