Hi, this is Moat. And since almost everyone on the Internet uses abbreviations, and not everyone understands them, I have brought into commission the Internet Lingo Dictionary. It's the basic abbreviations list, plus if you see something that's not on here, I'll translate it personally. Kind of like my l337 translator.

Brb: Be right back
Lol: Laughing out loud
Rofl: Rolling on the floor laughing
Roflol: Rolling on the floor laughing out loud
Lmao: Laughing my @** off
Lmfao: Laughing my f****** @** off
Roflmfao: Rolling on the floor laughing my f***** @** off
Roflmfaoxyz: Rolling on the floor laughing my f***** @** off plus extra letters
K/KK: Ok
Cu: See you
Ttyl: Talk to you later
Ty: Thank you
Yw: You're welcome
Np: No problem
W/e: Whatever
Gb: Goodbye

That's the basic list. If you read something you don't see here, submit it and I'll translate it for you. Hope this helps you out.

I know...I was going to update it every once in a while.
And yes, tennisman, that would be helpful. That way, I wouldn't have to translate personally so much ^.^

Here is an older thread made with the same thing going for it, so, we don't need more then one list of online abbreviations on here, do we?

These keep coming back, do they not?

And I use approximately... 4 of those. Maybe 5.
Abbreviations are often annoying and unneeded.

Oh sorry Perslos. I used the forum search for internet lingo, and it didn't bring up anything like this. Is that a dead thread, or is it still alive? Cuz if it's dead this one is ok. And now I have an update.
Yes, Cenere. I rarely use these myself. But there are some people(not naming names) who use these all the time. And this is for the people who don't understand the abbreviations.


Idk: I don't know
Idc: I don't care
G2g: Got to go
Nvm: Nevermind.

bbl: be back later
cya: see you (later)
qctm: quietly chuckling to myself (self created for those small lol moments)
lshihhabwctlfts: laughing so hard i have a heart attack but will continue to live for thirty seconds

funny thing: there is no abbreviation for abbreviation

I only use the following:

Lol
Roflmao
Rofl
WTH

That's it. The rest are useless, confusing and unneeded. What use do they have other than to confuse?

And this is for the people who don't understand the abbreviations.

And cannot use google, I suppose?

Beware, I know how to use google.

Hmm, a good advice: When there are no more than two pages, read both, will ya?
Not the same site as I posted, though.
Also, for links, go check the stickies in the Newcomer's Section.
