Cyber "Greek" & "Latin" email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. kokopelli (1924)3 years ago

Well, i'm not really good at the abbrevs here. I thought i'm getting by knowing the brb, lol, rofl, lmao, gtg, and all. But gosh, i got a lot of other things i don't understand. And i don't wanna crack my head deciphering, so i'll just ask your help :)

Pls post all the abbrevs used here and their meanings (i feel so outdated). i.e. jkjkjk - is this "just kidding, just kidding, just kidding"? How about wkwkwk, etc? Pls help us understand the cyber greek and latin, hehe. Thanks.

It took me awhile to figure out a lot of the geek speak like,

LOL is Laughs Out Loud

JK is Just Kidding

BRB is Be Right Back

IMHO is In My Humble Opinion

Sometimes I just ask as a few are really hard to decipher.

I am not used to those abbreviations too. But I am getting the hang of it. I think this started or is used often when text messaging and it is easier for them. As I use my predictive text feature, I do not have to abbreviate the words. I will not wrack my brain deciphering those!
