When you participate in any online community like chatrooms, game rooms, MMORPG etc, you might see some unknown short terms. If it is your first time, you might not be able to know what they mean. Sometimes, the term is not just used online, but also in real life. I have compiled a brief list of terms that is usually used. Most of them are just short forms, and some might be a little rude.
- LOL = Laughing out loud / Lots of laugh
- ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing
- LMAO = Laughing my ass off
- ROFLMAO = Rolling on floor laughing my ass off
- 120 = Same meaning as LOL, usually used by hacker
- Lawl = Same meaning as LOL
- OMG = Oh my god
- OMFG = Oh my fucking god
- STFU = Shut the fuck up
- WTF = What the fuck
- FTW = For the win
- Noob = Newbie / lousy
- PWN/Pawn = Defeated (e.g. Jon got pwn’ed in game)
- Woot = Similar to wow, cool, etc
- P/S or P.S = Post Scriptum
- IMO = In my opinion
- IMHO = In my humble/honest opinion (Usually humble,however)
- SERP = Search engine result page
- Big “G” = Google
- BRB = Be right back
- BBL = Be back later
- AFK = Away from keyboard
