Hi!
I'm bored, let's have fun already
You have to post atleast ONE 'abbreviation' that's NOT used.
Ok, here are mine:
-
TFCO -
Turn the
F*cking
Capslock
Off
-
CFI -
Call
Fred,
Immediately (
)
EDIT: To see that your abbreviation is not used, go to google and enter
define:yourabbreviation as search. (Examples:
define:lol,
define:rtfm)

abbreviations came from chat programs (and online games with chat feature), they made it faster and easier to write something. but I know many people who don't like abbreviations, just like you and trond..

I don't mind the use of some abreviations, espically ones that help convey your emotions (i.e. lol) or where you are (i.e. brb) - but when people start talking like is:
I iz bare noyed @ dem cos dey iz gay
Then I start to get a bit frustrated.

@Killswitch: Me too. I can *accept* something like this: "Hello! I am busy. brb" or: "lol, are you serious?".. But if someone starts talking something like: "hi r u frend afaik ur nick john, cya" I don't talk to him. I'll just shut my mouth (but when I'm angry, I start spamming in the chat window with the guy..)

PWS bug!
Programmer
Was
Stupid
It's a term/abbrevation I use now and again if I do some truly stupid mistake,
spend a long time trying to figure what is wrong, or fail to do so
and have to ask someone else for help,
and realising that I made a huge mistake I usually think
(or say/reply) that it was PWS bug.

WHO is already used by the World Health Organization.
