If you could create the next popular internet acronym, what would it be and why?

LMFAO is my favorite right now.

HAM

Hillarious AstroChuck Moment

SMMETYT

Spanking My Monkey Every Time You Talk

My favorite is:TTFN – Ta ta for now! (Thanks Tigger!)

If I could create one it would likely be “lolimh” Laugh out loud in my head”; I use lol all the time but rarely do I actually laugh out loud >.<

Well… I have always hated LOL. When I first saw it… back in the early 90’s, I refused to say it. I still do… to this day!

What I said back then, was “Heh eh” Kind of typing out the laugh that I would do. That…. over the years git shortened to “heh.”

So now, whenever someone else would say LOL, I say heh.

@mowens Mine would be NRLOL “No Really, I am laughing out loud” As LOL has become a standard reply it has lost its meaning. I feel you have to reiterate actually if someone really makes you laugh.

@bobbidigidal: Our fearless leader, Andrew coined something like that: lol4rl (for real).

@bobbidigidal Good call

NASIAP = Not Another Stupid Internet Acronym Please

CGIJFI = Can’t Google It? Just Fluther It!

My favorite is WTF? Because that phrase is something I often think and say. I think I would use WAUD? For What are you doing? I guess I use sup for that tho.

@knitfroggy – Yeah that’s a good one. I hate internet acronyms, and that’s the only one I like and use at all.

ATHYRIO – and the horse you rode in on, as in “Fuck you, ATHYRIO”

YJLTG

YJTS (You jumped the shark) or YNTF (You nuked the fridge) or YKTL (You kissed the lesbian)

How about SREP: Stop Ruining English, Please.

Love it.

Lurveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it

LYA: Lurve your answer.

I use “idts” for I don’t think so.
“tks” for thanks… (not really an acronym, but w/e)
“ik” for I know.

…among several others

DBTG- Don’t be That Guy.

I love FTW. Most people read it as “For The Win!” but in my head, it means “Fuck The World!”

You’d be surprised at how interchangeable those two phrases are in context.

PMF Pull my finger. When people get too serious, it’s always good to lighten the mood.

AYFS?
(Are you fucking serious?)

XQZPFD

you all figure it out

BBL (be back later) It would be more accurate than BRB in most cases.

@aprilsimnel I lurve AYFS! I am going to start using that. It could nearly be interchangable with WTF.

How about LMALMJLML?

@knitfroggy – Thanks! :D

I don’t think Andrew, as clever as he may be, coined LOL4RL. Certainly not on fluther, as I’d used it way before there was a Fluther (fluther is circa ‘07 btw).

But then Al Gore invented the internet so I’m not sure. Maybe he did. I’ll wait for Andrew to confirm or deny.

WTF has been around for ages, but I can’t seem to use it – or read it anymore – without thinking Seeya….... Gary / WTF.
