grow up, grow on, grow out

Hello my lovely, fellow SAYSers. I decided to start this topic for some all-round education (for me, but hopefully this will help others too!)

The topic on today's agenda is: netspeaking. To tell the truth, I know only one word of the 'net-language', which is LOL. Kind of sad. So, I was wondering, if you have the time and will, would you mind sharing the ones you know about? :rolleyes:

Oh, and I have two abbreviations I'd like to know the meaning of:

FYI
AWOL


:blush: :jessi: :alli:

Thanks .... *tries to whistle and heads off*...

AWOL = Absent Without Official Leave

ROTFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing

brb - be right back
asap - as soon as possible
stp - sooner than possible (made that one up, but it's good, ain't it?)

Well, I really am fluent in net-speak. Just not when I have to prove it. :P

I have a few more to add: ^_^

ZOMGWTFBBQ - uhm, I just love this one. It doesn't really mean anything, apart from, I guess, oh my god/sh with a z for added emphasis ( :o ), then what the (censored) and an added Barbeque just because we can. :D

Hee. I think I should add WTC (what the censored). It will be in my repetoire of chatspeak now. :P

Also:

ASL - age/sex/location

CD9 - code 9 (it means parents are around, so don't write that thing about Lucy, for Pete's sake!)

gtg/g2g - either term means got to go

IDK - I don't know

noob - newbie. Used as an insult. <_<

nmu - not much, you?

w/e - whatever

gmta - great minds think alike

jk - just kidding

rl - real life

wb - either 'welcome back' or 'write back'

aka - also known as

faq - frequently asked questions

ICCL - I could care less

IHTFP - 'I have truly found paradise' (used sarcastically) or alternatively, 'I hate this (censored) place' lol. ^_^

SOHF - sense of humour FAIL. (love this one)

Ah dear me. I do love chatspeak. I don't use it nearly enough. :tickle: Hope that was helpful!
