PH interpretation needed

[srebbe64]

I’m very, very old – 40.

I can’t keep up with all of the various terminologies used on PH. For example, it took me ages to work out what “IMHO” meant. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone. Any how, I’ve now owned up to being in the ‘out crowd’, so can someone give me a list of “interpretations”.

While on the subject of clear communication, and I don’t want to sound like an English teacher, why do so many PHers spell “definitely” with an “a” (definately)?

[mrmaggit]

Do I? If I do, I'm terribly sorry.

Won't happen again. Sorry Sir.

By "interpretations" do you mean "acronyms"

IYKWIM

IIRC =if i recall correctly
WTF? =what the F?
AFAIK = as far as i .....know

LMAO = laughed my head off
PMSL = p1ssed my self(Myself) laughing
OMG = oh my god
SOTV = sh1t on the Villa
etc etc etc.........

Try this, I use it quite a lot because I'm pretty clueless about lots of Acronym's as well.

Reminds me, someone once asked "why is abbreviation such a long word?"

And why is dyslexic so difficult to spell?

It starts with the most popular then works it way down to least popular and it doesn't cover swear words.

Worth knowing, I was thinking WTF might mean "World Taekwon Do Federation". Seemed out of context in many of the posts I'd read!

Just be glad I've calmed down my text speak over the past 2 years!

Oh and when it says Freak if means the other four letter word begining with F!.

Valentino Rossi has WLF on the top flap of his leathers. Apparently, it is an abbreviation for some thing in Italian that is quite rude. Anybody know what it stands for?
