kinda like,

btw = by the way
imho = in my humble opinion
afaik = as far as I know
brb = be right back

Yes, they are wonderful Acronyms for peopel who are too lazy to type.

Just another example of the continuing change and evolution fo the modern English language.

*I catch myself saying lol when i think someone has said something funny in real life sometimes.....Doh!*

Also IIRC = if I recall correctly, OTOH = on the other hand.

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

IMOSHO = In My Oh So Humble Opinion
IMO = In My opinion
WTH = WHAT THE &(*#?
FU = Something you don't say here!
SCUBA = Self Contained Underwater Breathing aparatus
and last but not least:
BASIC = Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

Acronyms are great! And not just for those who are too lazy to Type!

Every time I see the word AFAIK I think of that Goose on that Aflak commercial, my apologies to our Non AMerican friends who are lucky enough not to have to see any of our commercials

STFU = Shut the Frell Up!
IMOSHO <- My fave!
NT = New Technology, eg. Windows NT, later changed to not mean anything as it made their other OSes sound like Old Tech.
GNU = GNU's Not UNIX
