CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hi, this is a thread for people confused about net phrases like lol for example, though that's a bad example because almost everyone knows that. But u get the idea, and the people in the know can help out. However, since evryone is so net language literate, I may end up the only one asking questions XD.

At any rate, allow me to ask what IMHO is. Thanks!

What does XD mean?Well I know it means "funny" but what exactly does it mean?Oh and IMHO= In my humble opoinion.

ROTFLMAO is "Rolling on the floor laughing my 'arthritis' off" hehehehe

WTF is "What could that possibly be that you are talking about or just did, I don't understand"

OMG is OBVIOULSLY a refference to everyone's favorite heavenly anime, "Oh my goddesss" and OMFG is a cry for a sequal, "Oh my fair goddess"

Ok... joke explanations aside

IMHO is "In my humble opinion" which is ironic, because usually in conjunction with that phrase, the opinion is not very humble

LOL is "Laughing out Loud" but I prefer to say "Living on Lard"

WB is used primarily in chat rooms, and it means either "Welcome Back" or "Warm Bacon" I skip the acronym altogether and merely say "Warm Bacon"

That's all I can think of.

I have one I use often, and that is "IMNSHO"

Edit: XD doesn't mean anything... It's a smiley. It's eyes tightly shut from laughing so hard, with a big open-mouth smile

じゃ、ね！

AFAIK= As far as I know
IIRC = If I remember correctly
IOW = In other words
BAK = Back at keyboard (as in, "AFK." Time elapses. "BAK.")

There's a whole list of them here, too. http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/

IKYMMBIWBOFAW
hahah i made that one up

it means
I know you miss me , but i wont be on for a while.

XD is a smiley...think of it vertically. >< makes the x and the D part of =D makes the mouth

I thought WTF was "What the _____"

And isn't it, "Ah My Goddess" (AMG)? I thought OMG was "Oh my ____", in which I use OMGosh instead. ^^;


Anyway,

BTW = By the way
FYI = For your information
GTG = Got to go
IC = I see


what's ooc?

Out Of Character.

I've heard rumors that CAA means "Cool, Anime Angels!" but I have yet to find definite proof of it. ^_~

G2G=got to go

WTF = Wet Tree Frogs

No way, AFK means 'A Free Kill', often used in CS or other FPS gaming. Oh wait, it's just me...

I use OMGosh, too.

I haven't gone to chat rooms recently, but I do play internet Half Life with people on the net. You can basically talk like in a chat room. It is sooo fun! Here are the acronyms I use in Half Life.

NS = Nice Shot
GJ = Good Job
TY = Thank You
Thx = Thanks
G2G = Gotta Go
BRB = Be Right Back
BBL = Be Back Later
OMGosh = Oh My Gosh
WTH = What The Heck (I use it. Sorry if I offended anyone. Most people use the other, worse one.)
PPL = People

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I don't know much about net language, but an acronym I use away from the keyboard is TMI (too much information)

KS= kill steal
NS= nice shot

Well, for ingame chat you've missed the famous "GG" for Good Game (often quicker than typing the whole thing out, though I still mapped it to a key when I was playing Unreal).

I suppose you could also add my fave for years:

l8r or CU l8r (later, see you later).

Congrats=Congratulation
Grats=Congratulation

"This sentence consists of various words from English, in order to create some random acronym."

My point is, I suggest you just use proper English with spelling when you type things on the Internet, if you can help it.

hey wiggins, why don't you modify your first post with everything on here (except maybe lorentzforce's sarcastic comment ^^;;)

But... but I do use TSCOVWFEIOTCSRA...

XD

I'm suprised that no one said INAL yet (I'm not a lawyer).

And my favorite one for online gaming comes from one of the older school games...

BK = Boss Key.

(Some of you oldschoolers will get that, I bet.)

wots IIRC?

IIRC: If I Remember Correctly

I was digging around and I came across this spiffy little site....
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=gg&Find=Find
It's a acronym finder! Search for almost any recent acronym!

GG = Gefahrgut (German: Hazardous Material)
New German word of the day from me!
