I saw the post by RocketRUs asking about ROTFLMAO. In my years on the internet, I've seen that people tend to use certain ones over and over again. And we use those specific ones instead of others that mean the same thing. For instance, I use "LOL", but not "ROTFL". I wonder if it has anything to do with your personality? Anyhow, I was just wondering what your favorite/most used acronyms are. For me it's: JAS -- Just A Second, this is like BRB, but I made this one up myself (although I'm sure I'm not the only one to have come up with it) LOL -- Laughing out Loud WTF -- What the **** . . . In my HR class, our professor (who was an idiot) did an exercise in internet acronyms. He prepared a couple emails filled with the acronyms, and we were supposed to decode the email and bring it to class. One of them used: WTF and RTFM. But he didn't know what those REALLY were. As far as he thought, WTF was "why the face?" and RTFM was "read the funny manual" -- I hated that guy . . . ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Roofles: Not a real acronym, more of a strange pronounciation of ROTFL. I picked it up from the Something Awful forums. IIRC: If I Remember Correctly And everyone knows that RTFM is really just "Read the manual." Lord Tree ------------------ Who is Lain?
Here's a couple more I just thought of: WB - Welcome Back NP - No problem Lord Tree ------------------ Who is Lain?
OMG - "Oh My God!" ROFL - "Rolling On the Floor Laughing" LMAO - "Laughing My A$$ Off" ------------------ All hail Fadeaway's Cyberfish -- your 2000-2001 BobFinn* Fantasy Basketball League Champions! [This message has been edited by fadeaway (edited June 15, 2001).]

Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death. One of the dumbest ideas for a signature I've ever seen... ------------------ Beauty, was the allure that brought me close to you, Loneliness, was the bond that made me stick like glue, All fantastic images, they only are apparent, Promoted by desperate hope, That things are somewhere better.
That was quick. And yes, it is a stupid signature. BUT IT'S MINE, MINE YOU HEAR, MINE!!!!!!!! Okay, okay, where's the syringe? ------------------ Protrolls.com!
