lol!

wdyt-what do you think?

everyone is going to use this fulltime and we'll all resort to shorthand

egghead

[phishhead]

done...great idea!

ISHICEAH: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

[Big Booger]

first time I heard of "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" LMAO.

[Dehcbad25]

ISHICEAH seems kind of long to remember. I had heard of that phrase maybe a couple of times, with variations, but never of an acronym for it :p

[cash_site]

gee there a lot of phrases. How are you supposed to remember them, might have to print the list out and stick on Monitor to refer to. LMAO :biggrin:

[Dehcbad25]

if you stick it in the monitor, you won't be able to see what you are typing ROFL :rofl2:

[phishhead]

thats a nice find there.

[joshsiao]

I do believe that most of it also applies to games, right? If so, then I got another one. FF: Free Frag

I do believe that FF stands for Friendly Fire in Games.

[joshsiao]

I know that people associate FF as Friendly Fire. But in CS(the only game that I have experienced this) they also have Free Frag. This happens when a person joins a server and joins a team then spawns at the spawn point but is physically not at his keyboard. So he's character just stands at the spawn point doing nothing. Such people are mostly kicked after a few rounds because they can be killed by the opponent without challange, thus the frag is free. This is the first reason that they are kicked. Second, these FFers do nothing to help the team and possibly allow the team to lose especially if he hold the bomb for the terrorists. The FFer also takes up player space in popular servers.(Depriving others of playing there)

[cash_site]

oh i see, thx for the insight. :D

[lynchknot]

loltf Igimtt.

[King Cantona]

Well I never knew what a "troll" was until I started using the internet, there is an EXTREMELY right wing American site that I go on and I have been called a "troll" a lot for simply holding a different viewpoint to them...

But I've learned a bit about internet slang so that's good... :D ...

[uschie]

ISHICEAH: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

Well, i take offense to that :)

[phishhead]

OMG its the ghost of the horse whisperer. ;)

[uschie]

Howdy there Pish,hehehe :D
How is murray, hope still alive and well :)

[uschie]

And what site may that be??Well we propably have seen each other there then.BTW, maybe you should hit ted nuggents site from time to time :eek:

[Rex Mundi]

What does W00T mean? And what about IMAO? I couldn't find these in the list. Nicely done btw :)

[SupaStar]

To my knowledge, w00t is an expression of extreme happiness (kind of like woo hoo!)

By IMAO it think you mean LMAO which means Laughing My Ass Off! If indeed you are :)

[Dehcbad25]

~Cal~

[Big Booger]

I hear ya... :D You might be part computer LOL cyborg...

[z3n]

PEBCAK Problem exists between chair and keyboard

We used to use the term is PBKAC - Problem Between Keyboard And Chair

On the helplines about 3 years ago, never heard of Pebcak ,although it means almost the exact same thing.

hehehe
Hows this one: 1337][-][4><0]2 = Elite Hacker

[Beth C]

What ever happened to the old ones - like TGIF?? :) JMO but the people who think these up have too much time on their hands! TFTIT(Thanks For The Info, Though)

:))

[tarun]

Damn! thanks a lot - u dunno how many times I've searched for this stuff, lol. Its like that episode of friends where the guy sells Joey an encyclopaedia.

[Aruna]

That "dictionary" is superb. But then I must say that this whole new internet language is getting on my nerve. Not everybody understands it, then you have to explain it on purpose what you said... plus in SPANISH it´s all different again.

Anybody able to help me out with internet slang in Spanish?
Would appreciate it very much!!!

Thank you.

[zipp51]

TVM4TI Thanks very much for the info. :D :p

[Dehcbad25]

Aruna, I do speak Spanish, but I don't chat much in Spanish using Slang, since I am from Argentina, and we use what is called "proper Spanish", so I can understand a lot better people from Spain, but I have a really hard time with Mexican Spanish, and even worst with Puerto Rican Spanglish.
But I could try :p

[cmputrskillme]

TYVM! WITWWIDWI? (that's what in the world would I do without it!)

Gonna share this, there is just too much internet illiteracy these days! Is this E-Bonics? :D

[rik]

LOL...Cyber-bonics

[choco11]

this is so important
my friends laways talk in internet slang and then i have to ask them what is thier meaning
then they laugh at me for not knowing
now i will elarn all that slang and fire back and then i will be the last person to laugh on them

[ashish]

wow didnt know a lot of these.. very good idea :)

[Zildjian]

Whoa, I think this is a little overboard.... :eek:

[rik]

uh huh...So is the price of your cymbals.

[fearfactoryfan]

i dont think so

[Terri]

OMG...ya learn something new everyday!

[Linedawg]

There is a new one i see now in MMO's for QQ

QQ = Cry more ( i guess it is because the two Q's look like eye's with tears in them)
