Pardon my ignorance but can someone help / give me (and no doubt some older members) a heads up on some of the commonly used acronyms etc used frequently in forum threads.

The ones I (think I) know:
HTFU - Harden the F#%k up (my favourite)
IMO - In my opinion????
RAOFL - Roll around on floor laughing?????? did I just make this one up?
WTF - What the f$%k
- happy
- really funny
- dude wearing sunglasses???????
- embarassed
- salivating
[}:)] - my favourite martian??????
- wink wink say no more
- hey what's that clown think he's doing (reference to Farside cartoon)
- someone deserves a punch in the head
- WTF?????
- Sad
- Bug eye (knew a girl like this once)
- Oh my gosh
- angry
- intoxicated (pi55ed)
- asleep / boring
- angelina jolie
- proud
- disappointed

Please add to &/or correct this list as I can use it as a reference.

PS - please no replies of face with the black eye

If you do a mouse over (hover over) the icons, they give you a brief explanation of the icon.

What about the ones that sh!t you? For me it is

(1) over use of lol. Particularly seems to be a trait of young females lol. They type like like something so not funny and they use it all the time lol.

(2) on the seppo newsgroups, every time they answer a question for a newbie: YMMV (your mileage may vary). "Yeah get a 150L board it will plane in 15kn but YMMV" Fine, but not when it as at the bottom of almost every reply

I'm stressed, anyone got an ?

Was just a quicky. I had some left over Sav's in batter last night and they came out very quickly. By the time I sat down, the show was over. Just the way I like it, quick and clean.

I have not been far away. Uncle Frank has gone to Italy for a couple of months, so I have been left to run this show. This job comes with lots of responsibilities, so I can't sit at the PC at the moment and lay my wisdom on the world.

Back to the fryer.

relatively boring
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1337+sp33k

Current icons and shortcuts have a sowrdid and colourful past.
Basically they come from the old days when naughty works were blocked so p33ps found a way around.

yes LOL and LMAO are over used, and if you ever play online games it gets silly.

Some of them can be just typos
like pron or pwned, google either term, but not at work

anyways
