The texting shorthand dictionary: The meaning of lol, lmao, rotfl, fdl, rofl, lmfao, gtg, ttyl, imao, ttfn,what it means
83lol, lmao, brb, ttyl, ttfn. Etcetera. You see these in text messaging, mass text messaging, commercials, online, etc. Even in text message advertising, you see it now. You ever wonder what any of this means? So do a lot of people, I bet. For young folks, the meaning of these words practically comes second-hand by now. But not everyone knows what all of these words means. Do your parents know what these mean? Does your sms provider even know what half of these mean? Parents whose children own cell phones, do you know what most of these mean?
If you answered 'no' to this, then that is why I wrote this. You might even start using them in your texting or IMing or Facebook posting lives. If you own a Blackberry, o2, Treo or other new smartphone with a full keyboard, you might use them less, but if you have a non-pda flip phone, they do tend to save a lot of time. Don't overuse them, though, or even you might lose the ability to understand yourself. Nevertheless, here is what I know. I'll try to define as many as I can think of.
lol = laugh out loud/laughing out loud
lmao = laugh my @$$ off
roflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my @$$ off
lool = laughing out outrageously loud
fdlmao = falls down laughing my @$$ off
fdl = falls down laughing
brb = be right back
bbl = be back later
b2b = business to business
ttyl = talk to you later
ttfn = ta ta for now
tfn = til further notice
bol = busts out laughing
lmfao = laughing my fat @$$ off
lmbo = laughing my butt off
imho = in my humble opinion
imo = in my opinion
rtfm = read the f* manual
<3 = love (heart)
h8 = hate
tmi = too much info
omg = oh my gosh
omfg = oh my f* gosh
itt = in this thread
afaik = as far as I know
afk = away from keyboard
asl = age sex location
