help with computor lingo

[xbcool]

gday all,

I got a message from a friend saying there was a photo of the xb on boostcruising.

so I had a look as you do (good shot too) further down there is a quote from a member saying (FTW) ,can someone tell me is this a good thing or do I hunt down HOON69.

I only found out what LOL meant a short time ago and have trouble with computor lingo (well I am nearly 40).

thansk steve

You need to understand in life that people who are nice to you aren't necessarily your friends,and people who are tough on you aren't necessarily your enemies.
AU Falcon is like a Alfa Romeo no matter what the excuse your still a fag!

IMO = in my opinion

You think they are hard.
I was at a trivia night last weekend and we had to decipher several of these for extra points. I phoned a friend, did everything I could to find out what they mean, but no luck until they told us and I was dumbfounded.

Try these;

EMI

PITMEMBOAM

BTW, (by the way)...hehe...........I'm only 38.

I just looked up "Figjam" in the Urban Dictionary...

[Fev]

whats IIRC?

dont worry, im 19 and i only understand half of these things(doesnt really make sense since so many people are against and hate people who use LOL and sms speak but they use IMO and FTW etc etc....:

[xr8chick]

I still type out words that complete a sentence, half the time i can't understand people who type with MAJOR chatspeak. but I still use LOL and FTW, because I CBF typing "Laugh Out Loud" and "For The Win"

I hate all those abbreviations. God forbid some people should have to take 3 more seconds to type out a sentence while sitting on their ***.
