Ok. I'm so old school and I need help deciphering all these message board/chat language. Could anyone tell me what the most common acronyms mean? ex. ROFLMAO and others like it. The only ones I know are the very short and simple ones like: IMO- in my opinion ITA - i totally agree MB- message board IM- instant messaging IMHO- in my humble opinion And that's it. Is there a website somewhere that has a list of this cyber lingo? Please help me with what u know, the more words or pharses the better. Just so I could keep up with the times

Let's just get one going here- I don't know a site, but it can be hard to figure out if you don't chat much. There is a small list in 'Terms and Ligno'. But, adding your list above: Chatting: LOL- laughing out loud ROFLMAO- roll on floor laughing my a$$ off TTYL- talk to you later BFN- bye for now BB- be back PM- private message HTH- hope that helps Herbs: PM- pueraria mirifeca WY- wild yam OO- olive oil BGP- Breast Gain Plus BB- Bountiful Breasts VP- Vitamin Power BO- bovine ovary
