How often do you read online messages… both in [1] MRD? Even the [2] Acronym Finder doesn’t have the last one as used in chat.

Now, if everything is working, if you move your mouse over any of the acronyms above, you should see “bubble help” with the spelled out version, if you browser supports such things, but MRD may be a little confusing.

Mandy Rice-Davies was famous in Britain for having (supposedly) had an affair with Lord Astor during the “Profumo Affair”. When told that Lord Astor denied even meeting her, she retorted, “Well, he would, wouldn’t he?” In some circles, MRD is used as a response to being told what some third party said meaning that it was said in one’s own self-interest, regardless of whether it is true or not… adjust the pronouns (’he’) as necessary to fit the situation: The cigarette companies have said smoking does not cause cancer? MRD!
