LOL ?

[SkyLuke]

Can anyone explain to me what LOL means? Don´t know that being from a system called Germany.... Thanks to you all

[jjwr]

Laughing Out Loud, or Laughin on Line

[Mara Jade1]

I didn't know what they meant either when I first came...here's a few more ROTFL= Rolling On The Floor Laughing ELOL= Evil Laughter On Line (Copyright Mirax H of the Sith Empire)

[jjwr]

ELOL? Thats a new one. Theres also brb = Be Right Back btw = By the Way :) = Smile

[obiwan2]

ELOL, huh? I guess the Sith came up with that one:)

[Atreyu]

ttt = to the top :( = frown/sad Any others?

[obiwan2]

I think that's about all of them

[Atreyu]

Hang on - 2 more: IMHO = in my honest opinion MTFBWY = may the force be with you I think that's all of them. :)

[Bromine]

I've been hoping a thread like this would pop up: SW: Star Wars ANH: A New Hope ESB: Empire Strikes Back ROTJ: Return of the Jedi SOTE: Shadows of the Empire SE: Special Edition GL: George Lucas Okay, most of those are rather obvious, but I figured we might as well make the acronym list complete.

[SkyLuke]

Thanks a lot for all the explanations! One does never stop learning.... MtFbwy

[jjwr]

I always thought IMHO was in my humble opinion.

[Froghopper]

FYI= For Your Information EU= Expanded Universe POTF = Power Of The Force (if your into toys)

[Atreyu]

I think it can be either humble or honest jjwr - I used to use IMO (in my opinion) but began to use IMHO since everyone else was ... :)

[jjwr]

I think it can be either too, I had just never heard honest, I had always though it was humble.

[RUIN KAI V3]

I always thought LOL meant Loser On Line. ;) :D Here is something to Laugh Out Loud at: <img src=http://members.tripod.com/~Greg38/darthbings.jpg>

[Mirax H]

j/k = just kidding

[Froghopper]

Thats Hilarious- Thats more like ROFL >g<= grin >G<= Probably means a big grin

[Atreyu]

Can't forget these: (sp) or (sp?) - unsure of spelling :)

[Yaddle]

I always thought j/k was short for joke. FTR: For the record. WTF: What the . . .rhymes with "luck"

[Froghopper]

I think MTFBWY should be May The Frogs Be With You. :) In my honestly humble opinion :)

[Mirax H]

brb=be right back

[Atreyu]

I guess these are sort of related to this: cc.net - CoruscantCity.Net swf.net - swFans.Net (that's this site for those of you who still haven't figured it out yet :) ) tf.n or tf.net - theForce.Net

[Froghopper]

This could probably go here also. In cyberville any words that are between ** mean an action the typer/est is making ie: *grins* or *ducks* or something that wouldn't be put in () or acronymed as above. Also, it is customarily(sp?) assumed that when you speak(type) with ALL CAPITALS that you are excited and it symbolises shouting, thus if you have the "caps lock" key engaged and do not want it to be assumed that you are foaming at the mouth, please type "normally" ie with the occasional LOUD word :)

[Bromine]

WHAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, FROGHOPPER. COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT AGAIN? j/k :) Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

[Wooderson]

I use :: for that, at the beginning and end of the sentence. 1 more: The Flanelled One = George Lucas

[Jedi2016]
