    Default abbreviations

    I was just wondering what ROFL stood for? I have always wondered. I thought it might be a good idea to get all the abbreviations and acronyms out there for computer illiterate people like me. There is prob (probably) another thread about this but I couldn't find one.

    Cheers

    i first thought STFU was somehow "stuff you"
    So did I :P

    FTW I picked up from the Ausrevs boards, normally it means something great, excellent, etc etc.. For example, Krispy Kremes for some people.. Krispy Kreme = FTW!

    For The Win
    GTFO = Get The F... Out/Off
    LOL = lol, if you don't know the acronym to laugh out loud
    ROFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing
    LOLROFL = Laughing Out Loud, Rolling On Floor Laughing
    LMAO = Laughing My Arse Off
    ROFLLMAO = Rolling On Floor, Laughing My Arse Off..

    ROFLLMAOLOLSTFU = Geek, get outside and venture into reality!!!

    Why would you use ROFL when you could just use lol or haha and most or all people would get it. ROFL did my head in I spent ages just thinking about it. IMO took me ages aswell and then people had to go and add a H in there (IMHO) In my honest opinion.
