so im wondering. what the hell do those things mean. i know these

omg = oh my gosh or god

and thats it.....

Who knows more??

WTF= what the f**k

ROFL= rolling on the floor laughing

LOL= laugh out loud

LAMO= Laughing my arse off

ROFLAMO= Rolling on the floor laughing my arse off

That's all I know off the top of my head.

LMAO = Laughing my arse off

roflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my arse off

Haven't used it myself, but "TOL" is supposedly "Thinking of Laughing" or "Thinking Out Loud".

what does ttyl mean?

ttyl: Talk To You Later.

oh

Urbandictionary (urbandictionary.com) will tell you everything you need to know.

Oh? Hm... maybe "Occasional Helper". But I don't know.

BTW = By the way
IMO = In my opinion

Also commonly used is "|337," which I have no idea what the hell it says. XD Well, as for that:

4 = a
7 = T
$ = S
! = I
etc.

(I can't think up of anything else at the moment. XD)

1337 meants leet, in other words :elite

w/e: what ever
omfg: oh my F***ing god
b/c: because
w/: with
w/i: with in
EDIT: forget the other one

AFK: Away from Keyboad
ATM: At the moment (it's also one of those cash machines)
BRB: be right back
NVM: never mind

:yes:

STFU -> "Shut The F**k Up"
RTFM (or RTM) -> "Read the F**king Manual"
Guru -> Somone good at *nix

Commonly used, but are not acronyms:

Sauce -> Want more
Do Not Want -> Obvious meaning

That's all I have that hasn't already been covered.

MMORPG Text:

WTS: Want to sell
WTB: Want to buy
LFG: Looking for group
GLF: Group looking for
Tank: High level warrior that can almost do a mission on their own.

Sauce -> Want more


Really? I always thought it meant source. :mellow:

. . I'm in trouble.

Hmm... I does mean that too (and that def is higher up on Urban Dictionary)...

Maybe I'm around people that don't use it properly.
