TLA's... Educate me!!!!

**Charlie** · 4th November 2005, 09:27

TLA's (or Three Letter Abbreviations) are invading my screen; and its as hard to understand as some txt messages!

Call me old (26?)... my thick wrinkly skin can take it.

So... to start a KB (Kiwi Biker) dictionary I've made a poor but basic start:

OMG = Oh my god
WTF = what the fuck
BTW = by the way
PFY = pimply faced youth (I learnt that one in here the other day)

Please assist expanding my vocab...

Thanks, but I'll keep looking.

Oh & of course LOL = Laugh out Loud. I first thought this meant 'Lots of Love', but this did appear out of context a lot of the time....

SEP = Someone Else's Problem
NP = No Problem
YW = You're Welcome

At the risk of sounding dumb (yeah, happens a lot, I know, but I do try to keep it to a minumum), can some one advise what P/T means? From the context it normally appears in, I would assume its indicating a private joke . . . can someone confirm?

**SPORK** · 4th November 2005, 17:52

LMAO = Laughing my ARSE off

BBQ = Barbeque

Then there is ROFLMAO, which is just a longer way of saying the same thing, rolling on floor laughing my arse off.
BRB be right back
STFU shut the f*ck up
KMA kiss my Arse
PLBKAC, problem lies between keyboard and chair. ( a favourite for help desk people)
CBA cant be arsed
MDO medical day off, (sickie)
RFGP reject from gene pool
there are many others but they may be getting a bit obscure for most folks.
