Hi newbies,
ok, so hopefully you have read my other post regarding Karma, labpounds etc.
If not have a quick read through it,
http://www.labradorforums.co.uk/ftopict-17470.html

Right, so now you are seeing all these abbreviations and thinking HELP, they speak a foreign language on here Shocked and yes, as one of the "oldies" that found computors late in life, I freely admit, to having to phone my daughter and ask her what the heck they meant Rolling Eyes

So, I have started a list with the most common ones that are used on here, and hopefully the other members will add any that Ive missed (and keep em clean please or the detention book will be coming out Wink Laughing )

LOL= laugh out loud.
LMAO= laugh my ar*e off.
PMSL=p**s or pee myself laughing.
PMPL= p**s or pee my pants laughing.
HTH= hope that helps.
WTG= way to go.
OH= other half.
DH= darling husband.
DW= darling wife.
IMO= in my opinion.
IMHO= in my humble opinion.
GMTA= great minds think alike.
TC= take care.
ROFL= roll on floor laughing.
OMG= oh my god.

Now Im sure Ive missed loads but as I say those are some of the everyday ones you will see Very Happy

So HTH Wink
