kle-Karen Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 It's always amazing what you can learn from reading a list like this. Okay - what's a PM? I read this whole list and didn't see that one. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moondancer Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Wow! A lot more than I ever thought! Are we supposed to memorize these?! LOL Seems, before you say anything, you have to check your list for a shortcut. Pretty funny...I think I really like the WOMBAT and of course, I love Judy's version of DH...think I can refer to my ex as that one ~ also PITA is suitable as well! The only one I can come up with is ROFLMAO - Rolling on floor laughing my a** off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mandiannie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 this is a very LONG list. Love that YMMV!!!! I think if I can remember that I'll use it more often. I know most of them on sight but hardly ever use them except for TFL and LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecroppincow Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think it really depends on the area that you are working in. Each hobby and interest site has their own set. You can always do a google search on internet abbreviations and chat speak abbreviations. There are tons of lists out there that have the abbreviations and translations of all of the emoticons that are out there. I think that you could drive yourself crazy trying to keep up with all of them. When in doubt of what someone means....Just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest watmuzzer Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm surprised that I didn't see [b]SH[/b] on the list. It stands for [b]Scrap Happy[/b] (it used to mean slap happy). It describes someone who is slightly dazed and slow to respond to things because they've been concentrating on scrapbooking for hours. It could also be used to describe someone who has been shopping at the boutique for hours. My husband tells me I'm [b]SH[/b] quite often.

Eileen Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Fun! Thanks to Catherine for the long list. I'm saving it for reference. I just learned that CC means constructive criticism - at least I think that's what it means. I had been using LOL to mean lots of love and now I learn it means laughing out loud. Oops! No harm done I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari PV Mom Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I thought I knew most of them by now but one was used today that I don't know. What does [u][b]imdb[/b][/u] mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACnSCRAP Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 [quote name='PV Mom of 2' post='151925' date='Jun 5 2007, 02:04 PM']I thought I knew most of them by now but one was used today that I don't know. What does [u][b]imdb[/b][/u] mean?[/quote] OKAY! Well, I had just given up on being able to speak this "language." So I logged onto the forum and decided I would simply ask what all these abbreviations meant as I felt everyone knew them but me. And low and behold, here was this INCREDIBLE list. WOW! I've copied them into an EXCEL sheet so it would alphabetize them for me (I'm lazy) -- and now I have my reference sheet. I travel internationally a lot and have a gazillion phrasebooks to help me out from land to land. I think someone should create an abbreviation phrasebook. I think Shari asked (back on June 5th) what imdb meant. I only know that abbreviation as International Movie Database -- as in imdb.com. I'm a little weird and have all my DVD's categorized and listed in a spreadsheet and kept in a notebook. I go to that site often to get the comments and ratings to add to my database. I'm my own video store, it would seem and love to share my list with family and friends so they can borrow my movies. Don't know if that's the same imdb -- probably not... probably means something completely different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanalizzie Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Well after reading three pages of posts on abbreviations, I don't feel quite so embarressed any more. Although, I think I will just write it out, I'll never remember a third of them. Thanks for the link though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
