We share jokes, riddles, short stories, and other laughter-provoking thoughts. We have one simple rule: If you wouldn't say it to a child because it contains inappropriate...
"Learning Is Fun" Game
Here is your chance to teach the newbies a thing or two about the latest mode of interpersonal communication, and perhaps even to polish your apple of knowledge to a high sheen.
Category: Chat Lingo
Chat lingo is the abbreviations of words and phrases in text messaging, e-mail, online chat, instant messaging, and in speech.
Examples:
TMI or tmi
Too Much Information or too much information
AKA or aka
Also Known As or also known as
Now it's your turn. Please tell us what the letters below mean in plain English, and then type a new chat lingo term for the next Laughter Club member to translate. Do remember that language was given to us that we might say nice things to each other; if you wouldn't say it to a ten year old child, then it doesn't belong here, either. It's go time!

ADIP
Here's one I just made up: OMIF = Open Mouth, Insert Foot
I admit to doing that from time to time - how about you?
This is one you can use when signing off at the end of a message, and it's not one I made up, so you know it's for real: AMBW

AYT means "Are you there" - with or without a "?"
What does "zzz" mean?

IYQ
I'm going to share some information with all of you (that's y'all if you're from down South). You can visit a website that translates chat lingo into plain English. The website also has emoticons and funny text messages you can send to your friends on their cell phones.
You may want to save this website address for future reference, especially for use around Valentine's Day and your friend's and family's birthdays (and it couldn't hurt around your boss's birthday, either).
