Latin abbreviation for the literal translation of “and shit“, specifically, “et merda”. Just like “etc.” (and so forth), “i.e.” (that is), and “e.g.” (for example), “etm.” can be used to abbreviate “and shit“.

At the farmer’s market I got tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, etm.

I was just taking care of bills etm. before he came over.

Very early here, and this made me laugh.  Might not be so funny in 4 hours but ….

I keep writing to you all (and you know who you are) in my head but it hasn’t quite been making it to the blog.  Soon!  I’m still in the throes of putting the house together, etm., and it still looks like a nightmare in here.  Aaaaaaaargh! Seriously, I feel like a hoarder with my little paths through the rooms.  Scary.  And I still have half a Pod to empty.  Yikes!   Can you say Freecycle?!!
