I use a lot of abbreviations/internet slang when I am chatting or texting. It makes my life easier that way. I dont have to type long words and I can deliver the message quickly. However, not all people know these abbreviations I've been using and I have to take some time explaining to them. In the end, the time that I expected to save was spent explaining to them, thus defeating the purpose of abbreviations: to save time. Once, i texted a girl 'lol' and she thought it means 'lots of love'. lol. I had a hard time explaining to her. Well here are some of the most frequent abbreviations used by me:
LOL - laugh out loud
LMAO - laughing my ass off
ROFL - rolling on the floor laughing
ROFLMAO - rolling on the floor laughing my ass off
SNAFU - situation normal, all f***ed up
TBH - to be honest
IMO - in my opinion
IMHO - in my humble opinion
TTML - talk to me later.
TTYL - talk to you later
GG - good game
YALLA - hurry up in arabic (picked it up when I was in mmu)
FFS - for f*** sake
ETA - estimated time of arrival
FTW - for the win
IDK - i dont know
vroom vroom - racist son of a gun
fap fap - masturbating
noob - newbie, but meant in an offensive way.
troll - the act of spamming unnecessary stuff in forums, fb walls etc
there's plenty more. will update if i can think of any.
