FF8 Quistis  An Internet Abbreviation Dictionary
04.09.08, 02:44:18
  Post #1 (permalink)
 
     

Because it's possible some members here may or may sometime be new to online communication I think it would be best to make a guide explaining what online abbreviations mean (I.E. lol, rofl, brb, etc.). I will also make this a sticky since it's probable that in the future there will be people here who are new to online communication and will always have questions about internet abbreviations. Sound good? For the record because swearing too much is against the rules, I will limit the abbreviations with curse words to the most common used ones . Also I think this belongs in the questions area because many people will have questions about abbreviations .

LOL-laughs out loud

ROFL-rolling on the floor laughing

LMAO-laughing my a$$ off

BRB-be right back

WB-welcome back

FTW-for the win

OMG-oh my god

IDK-I don't know

JFTR-just for the record

QFT-quoted for truth

BF-boyfriend

GF-girlfriend

WTF-what the f***?

WTH-what the hell?

FYI-for your information

BTW-by the way

TBH-to be honest

IMO-in my opinion

IMHO-in my humble opinion

THX-thanks

ORLY-oh really?

TTYL-talk to you later

If there's any more common ones I've missed, feel free to post here letting me know and I'll update.

Lol elementus got censored XD. Thank you DMP ^^.

Michael, you're right that it's possible that it could go on forever. But for more abbreviations;

Internet Acronyms, Abbreviations and Emoticons

That should help. Though it lists ones that hardley anyone uses so I just listed the most commonly used ones XD.

Your Welcome
Yes there's so many Net words it could go on forever because people sometimes make there own.
I know some words i use in multiplayer games like

Pwned = Owned

Woot = Some bird kind of sound you make when you win, dont attempt this in real life public thou lol.

Noob = Someone who is new and doesn't know anything.
