Whilst not sleeping, I thought about internet slang, and how I never really got the hang of it. I've created a cheat sheet for myself:
- LOL= Laugh Out Loud. NOT Loser On-Line (though it could be applicable)
- LMAO= Laughing My Ass Off. NOT the sound a French cat makes.
- FTW= For The Win (or occasionally, the internet tells me, Fuck The World). NOT Football Wheels.
- Emoticons traditionally have a colon or semi-colon and a follow-up, but these can be tricky, and when in doubt, best to avoid social guffaws by saying werd rather than typing a superfluous emoticon. Remember, :p is sticking your tongue out-- ;::;pyq23+>?"} is nothing.
