Patchwork said...

There are some I recently came across. I think this person made it up.

OHO: Oh Holy Oracles
ROLF: Roll on lounger fucking!

Others:
TTYL: Talk to you later
FFS: For Fuck's Sake

Sweets said...

FFS...ha! i can make use of that one!! and even ROLF...hmmm... ;-)

Patchwork said...

I'm pretty partial to FFS myself, I use it all the time on instant messenger.

I use ROLF on my boss. He thinks I mean, ROFL! It's my little victory over the arse wip

GREAT POST!
I didnt know what the KWIM one was and to be honest I have already forgotten again so I am going back to the post

I can see that you weren't an mIRC person - I learnt all those in the 90's when I was addicted to that chat program. ROTFLMAO was my favourite one ;)

oh crap! i love acronyms- and today everyone beat me to it!!! i love "ffs"!!! and there are so many!!!

here are some other milder ones i have come across in my groups and blogging...

dh = dear husband
ds = dear son
dd = dear daughter
bf/bbf/bff = best friend/ bestest best friend/ best friend forever

Unknown said...

Another one. FB for Fuck Buddy. My ex thought it meant Fat Bastard though. Guess that works too.

AngelConradie said...

I didn't know a couple of them but most of them, I did. One that I had trouble with, before, was, bbiab. Which means be back in a bit. I also can't stand when people replace the letter s with z in every single word. Grr...
