 I'm confused! Happens a lot. I think that IMHO = in my humble opinion Things like 'roflmao' and 'pmsl' are an utterly foreign language to me! I know that lol means something is meant to be taken lightheartedly but I don't actually know what lol stands for..... There are others too but i can't think of them just now. Please take pity and enlighten me on the above as well as any other commonly used shortcuts. Thanks

 lol = laugh out loud Nick. Until about a year and a half or so back ago this was all practically a foreign language to me too matey!  So don't worry, your're likely not alone in this, as we literally do learn things everyday don't we! I didn't know half of those things till either FB or NPC kindly directed me to a page of definitions.

 Thanks John! You saved me the trouble there of going off to find it for Nick in my bookmarks here!  It wasn't that particular one I was given back then though, but the word abreviations lists are all similar anyway pretty much, aren't they just!

  A brave man once said, btw - that's 'by the way', btw - 'I have learned a lot in this life. But above all I have learned that I still have a lot to learn.' Good on you mate!

 I think the reality is more likely that you get out too much

 Thanks, I think, Jon. Still lots to learn though - hoping to learn more on the C2C in september.

 LOL = your comments is not at all funny but I don't want to offend you by not recognising your rubbish attempt at humour ROFLMAO/PMSL = as above but with a dressing of melodrama IMHO = I'm not sure what I'm on about here and think I might get slated unless I use this handy disclaimer = I've just said something which the previous poster may find offensive so let's show them I didn't mean it that way (although actually I did)
= I've just said something a bit rude/obscure and I want to make sure everyone knows it
AFAIK = I have just made this up FWIW = this is completely unrelated to the discussion but I thought it might make me look clever/attractive FYI = (either) You are completely wrong you nit (or) here is a random email I do not understand HTH = I didn't understand your question but I wrote this as I thought it might make me look clever/attractive

 WTF = the poster above is clearly a complete idiot with sh!t for brains.

 LMFAO at you lot. Strange how "MIILF" isn't in the list on the link............... does that mean not many us have one? 
|
 |
 I thought that meant "Mother-In-Law Fetish" which put me off a little bit.

 craft moment - affects primarily the elderly and me a lot - "can't remember a feckin thing" jfdi - just feckin do it mdbtyd - my dad's bigger than your dad - usually accompanies a pissing contest about stove weights/fuel consumption/tents...erm...well anything really. fwiw anyway (see Marcus' definition)

 swmbo - the one that lets me out inal - this is my view of how the law should be interpreted(sp) imho (sp) - I cant spill for feck (and google has let me down or icba to look it up) icba - I'm a lazy good for nothing and can't be bothered
and always rtfm before asking how to do something

 inal - this is my view of how the law should be interpreted (sp) - I cant spill for feck Mmm, are you sure you didn't mean anal, which describes some of these abbreviations?

 So, come on Kate, what does ANAL stand for?
