**RCQDnMp5** · 01-09-2007, 05:48 AM

Hope there isn't a topic on this, I did search and found nothing, but sorry if there is.
Anyway, i'm confused at some of the abbreviations used. Below are ones I know:-
LMAO - laugh my a*** off
BTW - by the way
IMO - in my opinion
IMHO - in my honest opinion
But what does 'LAWLZ' mean?
plus are there any more?
I don't get out much lol.

LAWLZ isn't an acronym... XDXDXD

**RCQDnMp5** · 01-09-2007, 05:51 AM

Ah, whoops!
What does it mean then?

**wrenjmerg** · 01-09-2007, 06:02 AM

It's just a derivative of LOL.

**ayWCZ7VT** · 01-09-2007, 06:20 AM

here are some not-so-common ones:
IIRC = if I remember correctly
AFAIK = as far as I know
FTW = For those wondering / for the win.
ROFL = rolling on floor laughing ....

hehe very specifica derivative
it is laughing out loud, LOL, and some gamers added the letter z to end of words to make it sound wierd or "cool" for them, and the letters aw just replace o when you say it out loud :P

I've just noticed that you didn't explain what the 'F' was for (WDPSPFEA) It wouldn't be a rude word now would it?
