Question:
Please help with all the different abbreviations people use on line and in text messages?
don't plagiarize
2007-05-30 11:17:16 UTC
I'm old, and do not understand all of them anymore, even though I work part time with high school kids who explain things to me. But sometimes meanings change. LOL used to mean lots of luck, but I guess now it means laughing out loud. I cannot even read some of the questions because I do not know all the different abbreviations and acronyms. Thank you.

for some of them. But remember that, like slang, they are constantly changing and evolving.

You should really check out Mike Walden's (dating coach) report on how to make any guy, doesn't matter if is your boyfriend, husband or someone who you just met, feel so attracted to/in love with you, that he will get obsessive thoughts about you, all done through text messaging.



I know it sounds crazy but it works. I've tried it and I still can't believe how some simple text messages changed everything. Get the report here for free: http://www.threemagictexts.com

Well, I guess the person above me got all of 'em. But here's some smiley faces (if ya look at em sideways) that I see all of the time.

:)

:(

:o)

=)

:p

;D

:~)

I gotta tell ya all of these abbreviations are driving me nuts too!!! I guess it makes it easier to type long messages (msgs), but in my humble opinion (IMHO), it is really getting out of control (OOC). :o)

Good luck!!!

They are NOT ambigrams. Ambigrams are the SAME word right side up and upside down
