What do they mean?!?
 

As I read throughout the various posts, I notice a lot of abbreviations being used. Some that I have been able to pick up on are:

IMO (In my opinion)
IMHO (In my honest opinion)
WTF (What the #@*!)

I might know of some others if I were to see them in a sentence, but most of them I have no clue on. And I will spend ten minutes just staring at that persons post trying to figure out what the heck they mean. For example, one that I just saw:

TMI

:hscratch:
Can anyone explain what they stand for? Can you come up with any that you use and tell me what it means to prevent further confusion? Thanks all!

TMI=too much information

I have the same problem. I know what LOL means, but all the other ones get me.

ROTFL?? Huh?

n00b -rolleyes-

anyways here's a list of a bunch of popular ones

if you can't find it there, go to www.acronymfinder.com

if it's not there, then they probably just made it up on the spot

rolling on the floor laughing or rotfl

I don't recall seeing TMI here before.

I just recently got FWIW (For What It's Worth). :o

On the acronym scene, I guess. :)

Actually, I thought IMHO was in my humble opinion, not honest.

WTHHTTEIA?

GLIU.










[Who The Hell Has Time To Explain Internet Acronyms?

Go Look It Up.]

Is that supposed to mean newbie? I'm not that much of a n00b :(

Well, those are pretty easy to see within the context of the post, but the ROTFL ones are stretching it a little.

Or the ever popular RTFM.

Roll the Fat Man???

right right...keep telling yourself that ;)

Read The Flipping Manual

or
Right This Freaking Minute (polite form)

What's MST3K???

Mystery Science Theater 3000

If you have any questions about an acronym, the easy way to find out what it means is to turn to any search engine. For instance, search Google for "mst3k acronym" and there are several accurate results on the first page. Ta-da!

What about ROTFLMAO? rotfl

The only one I'm not familiar with is IIRC. What does that mean?

If I remember correctly it means "If I Recall Correctly"

My Ass Off

if i recall correctly, i can also mean "if i remember correctly" ;)
