What does it mean IMO, LOL, etc...?
 

What do you mean when yo say IMO, IMHO, LOL, and other abbreviations?

I'm afraid I'm missing a lot of things for not to know this special words.

Can you put a list of them?

Thanks!!!!

These are used by people who want to use a cliché but can't be bothered to type it. "IMO" seems to mean "in my opinion"; "IMHO" is "in my honest opinion" or "in my humble opinion"; "LOL" apparently means "laugh out loud" though people use it for something that wouldn't even make you smile out loud. In my view, if people can't be bothered to say what they mean, I can't be bothered to try to translate.

IMO = in my opinion

IMHO = in my humble opinion

LOL = laugh out loud

DH= dear husband

LW = loving wife

BTW = by the way

TTT = to the top, bringing a post up to the top of the list on the forum so that others can see it and respond to it

Ignore Robiespierre - From your other posts it is pretty obvious you are not a "troll"

A few:

LOL = Laughing out loud
IMHO, IMO = In my humble opinion, In my opinion
DH, DW, DD, DS - dear (or darling) husband, wife, daughter, son
ttt = To The Top (bringing a thread to the top of the list)

I was posting the same time as bookchick and geoffhamer. There are many other useful abbreviations - which others confuse you?

You left out a couple of adjectives.

Hi H,

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

OTOH = On the Other Hand

ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing

ie = That is to say

eg = For example

SWAK = Sealed With A Kiss

((I))

FWIW - - for what it's worth

FCUK - - French Connection United Kingdom - - not really used so much on this forum, but a popular clothing line in Europe whose acronym is seen on sweatshirts and billboards everywhere

WTF - - World Taekwondo Federation... LOL - - they actually do use this acronym (also).

Best wishes,

Rex

WWID= What would Ira do?

sorry if I misquoted whoever used it ;;) Deborah

When I first started using the internet, I thought that LOL meant "little old lady."

cmt, you need to join the American Association to Abolish And Abandon Acronym Abuse And Ambiguity.

Don't forget AFAIK - as far as I know

IANAL - I am not a lawyer (usually followed by stupid 'legal' advice)

I've seen D used with many things, Dear Husband, Dear Wife, Dear Daughter, etc.

laughingd2, "WWID" made me chuckle quietly.

FWIW (for what it's worth) I thought LOL meant Lots of Love till recently.
Do you agree there are too many TLA's on this post?
