In my Humble Opinion
Good ones Jasmin and Rachel
thanks rachel and Kathy Anne.I learned some new ones :)
I see 'dwl' around alot. Do u guys know what that one means? And I'll add SMH to the list aka shakes my head.
Thanks everyone. This is very useful because I am often wandering 'what on earth does that mean' when someone has used an acronym.
Hey Jasmin, maybe you could also do book acronyms. I've seen people using 'UF' or 'PNR' and I literally had to sit and think about what they meant lol.
@sashana, I felt ignorant for asking wat it was about. tried looking some in the net like HEA and all i could come up w/ is Hektoen Enteric Agar w/c is something used for the culturing of bacteria haha.w/ the UF, i have no idea wat that means :\
ha ha I feel your pain...Someone told me that it means Urban Fantasy. Don't feel bad. Some one used GR and it took me some time ri realize that they meany goodreads. You can literally have conversation in acronyms now.
@sashana thanks for enlighting me. I knew this forum would come out handy. if there's more you would like to share, please post away :)
I like this one: TSTL as sometimes heroines fall under that one ... Too Stupid To Live.
@heather, I was too ignorant, I literally had to look that up :))
Heh-heh! Watch out Jasmin, you'll be using at some point! My friend was texting me and I replied back LMK. She texted me back and spelled it out and asked me why I didn't just spell it out. I replied that I liked driving her crazy. She didn't LOL but gave me a heh..
wow, another new one. Totally had no idea wat LmK was. haha, i think im getting the hang of the acronyms a bit. Is there an acronym IDK?
I like LMAO, works for me every time! Laughing My A** Off..
lol...that was great..i mean awesome..(^_^)WTH...what the heck?...--->just when i'm shock or when there's so disgusting to see or hear.lol!
I like WTF the best ... fits almost every situation..

She of course wrote I don't know, she wrote back "then why are you using it". LOL
OMG thank you so much for posting these lol now i finally understand everything said in my emails lol most of them i knew already but there were just a few i didnt know...This has made e-mail reading for me sooooo much easier...thanks :D
I totally agree with Rebecca! Even in comment reply's on group discussion's I get lost ... will have to make a note of these. thanks :)
umm does anyone know what IMO means please?
I think it's, "In my opinion" or you might see IMHO which is, "In my honest opinion".
I know BAMF, but I never use it (it's bad) Lol... Hmmm... Let me think...POS) Parents over shoulder
JK) Just kidding
JP) Just Playing
LYLAS) Love ya like a sister
BRB) Be right back
NM) Nothing much
MLAS) My lips are sealed
SLAP) Sounds like a plan
That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I know a lot more :)
bad a** mother f*****haha... sorry you shouldn't have asked that :)
Probably would give me a headache. LOL
It's funny that you said that Rachel cuz there's actually a book like that.
I've never read it and I don't plan to because I think I'd get fed up with reading a book with mostly acronyms.
I saw that book (^) in an Atlantic book shop. I picked it up, read the back cover, and put it back down. Looks like an annoying book.
Thank you for this. :)) i thought i was the only one having difficulty, :)
Please post more of those you know. I'm basically a noob on the acronyms, so I guess, we could make a list, assuming there's someone who's a noob like me :o
I'll edit and make this the master list :)
