Titolo: WSFBP (Was So-So)

Dear Arianna,
Yes indeed, I obviously have no choice but to  confess, you got me indeed. I had a feeling that threatening a search on Acronym Finder would  prove fruitless and you have confirmed my suspicions. Your devious plot (please note tongue firmly in cheek) has succeeded.
Let us see then. The possibilities that I can come up for the present without recourse to a dictionary  would be as follows;
    Withdrawal Symptoms From Bambi's ...
I have rather settled on this for the first four Letters with variations on the theme following:
     Penmanship (my choice)
     Posts (more likely)
     Presence (a definite maybe)
     Pornography (that somehow just slipped in)
    Pandemonium (possible)
    Plagiarism (Were Mr Lederer following our thread, he would opt for this I am sure)
    Playfulness (doubtful I grant you, but you never know)
    Perfidy (More plausible with each passing moment)
    Parsimoniousness (how's my spelling on this....but only if you've had a Private Detective         
                                        follow me around would you know this)    
    Probity (See Private Eye note, in any event, it's all Lies do you hear)
    Patronage (Also a possibility)
    Pretences (no comment)
    Perversions (in prose it is understood having nothing to do with pornography earlier)
    Poetry (stretching a thin point I know.)
I hope the game is going as you would want. I was never much good at them, but I have tried my best.
I wait, trusting as always, that you will advise which (if any) of the above you intended. If none, I shall try again.
It really is nice to see that Deja is behaving and you are with us. Really.
I remain, as always, ecc

     Perfidy (More plausible with each passing moment)
I must admit, though, that I am not that creative and the word I had in mind
when I wrote the acronym was Posts.
Although I heard of parsimony and never parismoniousness, I am sure
parsimoniousness is spelled correctly (if it exists) -->> parsimonious +
ness.  I am not a good speller either.
ciao

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Dear Arianna,
I try and hide my 'smarts' , but sometimes they will out.
Had you not given me the 'W' clue I am quite certain it would have taken me many more attempts. The game was fun, for which I thank you, and also and again for the sentiment behind the guessing game.
I shall now have to do a thorough check on parsimoniousness...probably doesn't exist. However, your admitting to not being a particularly good speller, makes me feel  a little better.
Hoping this day goes well for you,
I remain, as always, ecc

Ma dove e' questo post in cui davi la risposta?  Io mica l'ho visto. Comunque
scusa scusa......beh per farti contenta ti do un altro acronimo.  Vediamo se
indovini questo. BYOB Hint:  when I come to Italy we'll get together and have
a party.  BYOB. ciao arianna PS: non ho idea di che livello di difficolta'
sia questo.  Forse lo conoscete tutti o forse non lo avete mai sentito.

a party.  BYOB.
Bring Your Own Beverages?
Ciao

Dear Arianna,
In my part of the world, it would be Bring our Own Booze. Isabella Z being somewhat more refined, doubtless comes a more refined part of town, where Booze is non-u and beverages far preferable.
Isn't THAT an excuse for a glass of bolly?
I believe it is.

Dear Isabella,
I assure you that on the contrary, you rendered the game infinitely more interesting.
And certainly you can play with my Barbie doll any time you wish. No room for spoil-sports in THIS playground now is there?
 
    Jack and Jill went up the hill.
    Both were feeling wild.
    Jack got laid; Jill got paid.    
    Now they have a child.
Perks? What perks. You wish to be a Queen AND have perks? Off with your head!
I remain, as always, ecc

Possibile che nessuno di voi abbia mai, non dico bevuto, ma nemmeno sentito
nominare il Bollinger, nome proprio di un famoso vin blanc petillant,
esattamente come Veuve Clicquot, Moet et Chandon, Dom Perignon, (e scusate
per la mancanza dei corretti accenti) e compagnia frizzando? Ragazzi! Tutti
cresciuti a Lambrusco?
Tutti quei ricevimenti con i capi di Stato degli altri paesi sono
noiosissimi, ma lo ammetto, qualcosa s'impara...
:-))))


 nominare il Bollinger,
Bollinger?  Si' mi pare di averlo sentito nominare, ma pensavo fosse una casa
automobilistica.  Ah...e' un tipo di vino? Scusate la mia ignoranza ragazzi. 
Io vivo in Clifornia e qui beviamo solo vini californiani che sono molto "in"
adesso.
BTW, ora qui non si parla piu' molto di yuppies, ma si parla piu' di DINKS
(there is another one for you Isa...I bet you won't be able to figure this
one out!!!1). Sorry, I've got to run.  Le mie cameriere, chauffeur, cuochi e
giarndieri hanno il gionro off oggi e devo arrangiarmi in tutto da sola. A
domani Arianna

Frankly, honestly, truthfully, I must say: I am SPEEEEECHLESS!!!!!!!
I didn' think you would figure it out.
Ho chiesto ad un paio di americani qui che mi hanno detto di non saperlo.

I'll be frank, honest, truthful... I did not 'figure it out'. I _knew_. That
easy! Revert to speaking, please... :-)
