As I am rather new to this posting thing and do not own a mobile phone, I have let technology get away from me. I do not know what alot of the acronyms such as ROLF and BUMP mean. Please explain, and add your own fave, so all of us newbes can understand!
Friends are the best collectables. |

ROLF - rolling on the floor laughing
I thought for along time it meant throwing up!!!
BUMP - means bringing the topic to the top again for everyone's attention.

ROLF - rolling on floor laughing
BUMP - means to make an inactive thread, active again. Reminding people of the initial topic..that kind of thing.
I just like LOL - laughing out loud

wow, i'm glad someone asked this. I felt like I was too young to not know, also I was thinking I would run on to some kind of list to lay it all out. It's so nice to be in contact with gals who treat you like they are your long time friend. we muct be a lot of kindred spirits!

One that threw me for a while was
"KWIM" which means "Know What I mean?"
another is
HTH- "Hope that Helps"
I am 24-almost 25 and I have to google the acronyms sometimes. But then again I don't have a mobile phone and I don't text! LOL

NM= Nevermind
TTYL= Talk To You Later
AFK - Away from keyboard
BBS - Be Back Soon
BRB= Be Right Back
FWIW - For what it's worth
FYI - For your information
HHOJ - Ha Ha, Only Joking
J/K - Just Kidding
IMO - In my opinion
Most of the above I looked up...but are commonly used in the world of texting and chat..along with 2 million others! I don't text, and in my chatting days, don't use most of those...I typically just take forever to type it all out...haha
Hope those were of some help to whomever..if you want more..all you have to do is do a search for "Chat Acronym"...and you'll find a 2.3 million results(seriously, the number on the page says "2,300,000)
cheers,

Have to add this...TCCIC, take care cause I care. My daughter left this on a note in the kitchen one day and my DH who works with computer geeks and lots of acronyms sees it and with a very puzzled look on his face says "trojan condoms come in colors?" I about hit the floor laughing as he was dead serious.
Hugs, Kathy |

I love the condom thing. I'm surprised he didn't panic with your daughter writing about condoms. My husband would have gone crazy.
