YTDF- You're too damn funny. AND RIGHT!

Hold the salt, my doctor says so but keep the chuckles coming.

Here is one that I've been seeing more and more of.

MSM - Mainstream Media

parrhesia and I have developed some "skyped" shorties. They are the enunciated form of the text short hand:

burb = brb = be right back

bibble = bbl = be back later

l'mayo = lmao = laugh my a** off

Lets also not forget some useful things you might see while chatting such as the ever popular:

HOMPTAR=Hang on my Pop Tarts are ready.

BRBGARB=Be right back, getting another red bull.

GP=Gotta pee

GPBRB= self explanatory at this point I would think.

Spiderj

you forgot GPBRBGARBSIDTGPAAGARB:

Gotta pee, be right back, getting another red bull, slam it down, then go pee again and grab another red bull.

HCTF holy crap thats funny.

my mistake forgot that one whoops I mean MMFTO

Spiderj

And just in case anyone gets involved in a particularly technical debate, here are

WATCHTHEROCKS's HANDY ACRONYM's


DCAPES = Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution System
CTIS 3DS = Command Tactical Information System Digital Decision Display System
CTAPS = Contingency Tactical Air Combat System Automated Planning System
ARIDPCM = Adaptive Recursive Interpolated Differential Pulse Code Modulation
ASSET = Aerothermodynamics/Elastic Structural System Environmental Tests
5D = Demand Driven Direct Digital Dissemination
RAMTIP = Reliability & Maintainability Technology Insertion Program
PSIDS = Prototype Secondary Information Dissemination System
PCMCIA= Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
JINTACCS = Joint Interoperability of Tactical Command and Control Systems

You just never know when abbreviations like this will crop up. As an added plus, you can bewilder your friends when you get into an argument over which country's beer is better

Oh, plus, I learnt this in chat yesterday: '<3' means looove baby.

It's a phonetic spelling of the word "mother" (sometimes used as a shortened version of the phrase "mother *expletive*")
