*nods* I'm learning alot too. about a year ago I was practicly computer illiterate. I have only had my computer for, like, almost a year now, and before that, I had an old 1982 IBM computer! No joke! *sigh*

I was so low tech.

*KROW* · 09-12-2004, 03:53 PM

I used to think that "LMAO" was an expression and not an acronym.

HAHA
there were so many variations of "LOL" is crazy
LMAO, LMAOLC, ROFLMAO, or plain old ROFL...we used to come up with all kinds of things
I belive most of these evolved from the old local BBS chat rooms

Laugh my shell off

*KROW* · 09-13-2004, 03:19 PM

At first I thought the "S" stood for "socks".

Hamato Inya · 09-13-2004, 03:54 PM

Savanti Romero · 09-21-2004, 02:38 PM

I don't even know what brb means. I hate that stuff. I'm 18 and I hardly know any of it.

*KROW* · 09-21-2004, 02:47 PM

It means "be right back". I hate it, too. But I tolerate it.

Karai · 09-21-2004, 04:18 PM

I figure if you're talking to someone online, it's because they're worth talking to. So write out the words in full, it will make them feel special. Dern whipper-snappers.

MTN889 · 09-22-2004, 04:22 PM

Yeah, the stuff is confusing. BRB, dinner time.

*KROW* · 09-22-2004, 04:37 PM

Ahhh!!! What do ROFLMAO and LMAOLC mean? I know the root LMAO is "laugh my ass off" but the others?

**Machias Banshee** · 09-22-2004, 07:55 PM

ROFLMAO= Rolling on floor laughing my ass of

LMAOLC= Laughing my ass off like crazy...

Orochi Chimera · 09-23-2004, 05:28 AM

I know what most of this crap means. It's fine when people use for a few things. But when you get a an email with nothing but writing like this:

"Y R U mad @ me? AFAIK & IMHO I did nuthin wrong."

It gets very annoying.
