    I too was confused! Alot is in the read this first thread I think (if I was clever i would link it but im not!)
    A few I picked up:
    LOL - laugh out loud
    PMSL - peeing (swear alternative) myself laughing
    IMO - In my opinion IMHO in my honest opinion
    IYSWIM - if you see what I mean
    WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get
    IDK - I dont know
    AFAIK - As far as I know
    OS - old school / old style
    WLTM NS with GSOH - would love to meet non smoker with good sense of humour
    Woops wrong site :D:D:D

    there are some to get us going :)

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread ;)

    IMHO can be in my HUMBLE opinion, too (that's my use of it :D )

    Hmmm.... I see LO is on the list for little one - but I use LO for leftover(s) and I'm sure I picked up that habit (amongst others we shall not discuss at this time :rotfl: ) here on the forum . . . . ???

    Hee Hee reminds me when I first used the computer and my friend said "LOL" well in my time (gosh I sound old!!!) LOL used to mean Lots of Love ... so when I saw her I did say you know I like you but not like that... well the tears were running down her face when she explained what she meant!!!

    NorthernPrincess It tends to be fairly specific to the forum. Often if you look at the first few posts on the list there is a dictionary of sorts. Otherwise just ask, we tend to be friendly.
