The first Internet LINGO created before the internet?

Tweet

There are acronyms used all across the internet. lol, jk, gr8 and the list goes on and on. However, if I remember correctly one of the frequent lingos was used even before the internet was created. Coined by the brillant scholar from England I believe...Tigger If you have ever seen a Winnie the Pooh movie you have probably heard what I am talking about. "TTFN" Ta Ta For Now. I still use that in chatting with people and even in speech. As a matter of fact my daughter uses acronyms in speech. She'll say "LOL" and it just makes me so mad. It's one thing taking a shortcut writing but not talking. So how many remember Tigger saying that? How many of you have used that acronym? Here is the real question. How of YOU TALK using acronyms?
