[White Noise]

Welcome to the Fan Forum Chat Lingo/Abbreviations Thread!

The purpose of this thread is to be a sort of directory for chat lingo/abbreviations that you may not know.

For example:

Someone may post a comment with "lol" at the end. Most of us know that "lol" means "Laugh Out Loud".

But there are other abbreviations that you may not know. This is the thread to share those abbreviations and their meanings!

PLEASE NOTE
Please use these abbreviations sparingly.
We do not want to be reading posts that are all abbreviations.

THANK YOU!

Very nice! This would be a great addition on individual boards also, since a lot of people, especially on TV show/celeb boards use a lot of abbreviations!

[speak slow]

I clearly fail at being young and hip and with the times, I hadn't heard of half of these

[Chareey]

ATM = At the moment

ITA = I totally agree

[razzlephrat]

Also, IAW = I Agree With

Another important abbreviation: ETA = Edited To Add

[White Noise]

Thank you for those abbreviations, I'm going to edit them in right away!

[Scythe]

EATA - Edited again to add
EYATA - Edited yet again to add
j/k - Just kidding
rotflmho - rolling on the floor laughing my head off

I think we should write somewhere in the OP that we encourage the use of these sparingly... it'd be annoying if one post was so chock full of abbreviations.

[White Noise]

^^ Thanks for those,

G2EA ....Going to edit again!

[Scythe]

oops I wrote 'me head off'

[White Noise]

I changed it to My Head Off!

[4N6 DNA]
