Forum Shorthand
 
Hey there,

I'm not really a noob, but I just wanted to find out what some of the forum shorthand means. I know that lol = laughing out loud and lmao = laughing my ass off, but I would like to know if there are any others that I (and others) may not know. Thanks!

We tend not to use that much shorthand in the forum.
There is a lot of it in chat but that's to keep up with the flow of the conversation.
Here, carefully constructed sentences are more appreciated.

I use the OMG-oh, my god occasionally

GreenCloud 04-22-2003 08:38 PM

yeah, i see relatively little shorthand at tfp.
there are some i think i've seen fairly often though

btw = by the way
imo = in my opinion
imho = in my humble opinion
so = signifigant other
bf = boyfriend
gf = girlfriend

Not safe for work. It's meant as a warning to those working that if they open the thread at work, it's at their own risk of getting caught by their boss.

Tom Thumb 06-05-2003 05:41 PM

There's also 'stfu' for shut the fuck up. I don't know anyone who uses it in any way other than to mock the people who apparently say it seriously.

There are hundreds of little acronyms out there. Like Roy G Biv, if you wanted to tell the message board you were describing the rainbow.

nofnway 06-25-2003 11:01 PM

coldhands 06-26-2003 01:24 PM
