Changing topic to "Internet Meme discussion" to avoid topic being locked. I like this topic too. :3

Rofl = Roll on the floor laugh

Thanks tyteen4a03!
Here is another one:

These aren't memes, these are texting/chatting acronyms. >.>

I've seen it used more commonly as "In my honest opinion", but that's just me.

In other news, yeah, this topic is just acronyms, not internet memes, so it's
technically already off-topic. Is a topic or title change necessary?

EDIT: Thank you firefox for submitting my message when I wasn't finished, I appreciate that

Please fix it, my OCD wants it.

Done.

To contribute: tl;dr - "Too long; Didn't read" (generally a response to someone posting a wall of incomprehensible text, though it is a bit rude)

IDK = I Don't Know
IDC = I Don't Care
GG = Good Going / Go, Go!
GJ = Good Job

I can go on and on, but there are many that I've forgotten, and most of them have swears anyways.

Another use of GG: "Good game", used at the end of a round in competitive team-based games (provided that the people playing are civil enough to say it), e.g. Team Fortress 2.

AFAIC: As far as I care/As far as I'm concerned
AFAIK: As far as I know
MFW: My face when - upon realizing/seeing something, usually accompanied with a reaction image, e.g.:

>MFW:

Sorry, my image folder is full of pony. Couldn't find anything better to use as an example.

I could probably think of some other safe-to-use acronyms given time, but there you go for now.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:08 pm

I know it was a face, I was making a joke.

And I thought the "X" were dead eyes(meaning you had gotten shot).
