Lingo
by There seems to be a lack of knowledge to what AIM lingo-like LOL-really stands for. I happened on a news story that sets the standard:

B - I'm back
BBFN - Bye bye for now
BBL - I'll be back later
BFN - Bye for now
BG - Big grin
BO - Brain overload
BRB - I'll be right back
CMIIW -Correct me if I'm wrong
CU -See you
CUL8R - See you later
EG - Evil grin
FIIOOH - Forget it. I'm out of here
FITB - Fill in the blank
G - Grin
G2G -I've got to go
IMHO - In my humble opinion
IMO - In my opinion
JK - Just kidding
L8R - Later
LOL - I'm laughing out loud
NE1 - Anyone
OMG - Oh my gosh
ROFL - Rolling on the floor laughing
TIC - Tongue in cheek
TTYL - I'll talk to you later
WB - Welcome back

thanks for the handy reference...
i thought afk was AFLACK!
i have never heard of half those, i think whoever wrote this story made those up... b for back? what the heck are u that lazy u cant type back? usually u only have abbreviations for a phrase not a word. Dumb people :/ i dont see afaik in there either.. weird
haha, i know! i don't see IIRC or IANAL either... funny
well, this is "AIM lingo". I guess no one ever abbreviated online before AIM came around, or abbreviates outside of AIM.
*adjusts false teeth* well, back in MY day, we used to come up with these things on Quantum Link...before everyone was on the internet. i was the first to use cul8r.
all i have to say is...WTMI
what's the moron implying?
way too much information
sure...ruin the fun
*DOOF* i did it again
ITTTPTMTUHALTMTOTH!!! (I think that the person that made those up had a little to much time on the hands)
i tought "eg" meant exempli gratia
WTF = where's the fire
no no where's the forreste?
"THE" forreste?
ya see i told you i put "the" in where it doesn't need to be
yes...yes you did. although i notice you say "i have to get ready for meeting" instead of "THE meeting". it's an anomoly.
yeah i put it in where it doesn't need to be and take it out where it should be....lots of time around italian speaking people
why tina, forreste?
