skyjumpsteve 0 #6 September 20, 2007 from Wikipedia: Room and board describes a situation where, in exchange for money, labor or other considerations, a person is provided with a place to live as well as meals ("board") on a comprehensive basis. It also occurs in hotel style accommodation for short stays. Two commonly encountered boards are: Half Board, where the host only provides a breakfast and dinner meal Full Board, where the host provides all three daily meals Another option is: Bed and breakfast, literally, a place to sleep and breakfast provided.

Shotgun 1 #8 September 20, 2007 Quoteit (used to) mean the tenant would be fed by the owner if they were there for the planned meals, because they were living with the family now? its just a phrase with no meaning.. It's still commonly used in regard to live-in jobs such as nannies, caretakers, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsey 0 #10 September 21, 2007 Quote"Board" means meals. Not used much in that sense any more. "Board" means that group of people who determines whether I make a decent living or not. "Room and board" is not a topic that applies to me...lol. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

jimmytavino 16 #13 September 21, 2007 i thought that long ago, any menu at an eating establishment was called, a "board of fare"... maybe it was written on a piece of wood, (board),,,, maybe not.... so "room & board" would mean lodging and something from the menu... paid room & board when i was a teen at my folks home....Found out it was better to simply move OUT of my folks house.never charged my kids " r & b " never will.....jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #14 September 21, 2007 It's spelled 'bored'. As in, "Mike is in a room and he's bored, so he thinks of stupid things to post". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
