Acronym help needed
 

As a relative newbie to fodors.com Travel Talk, I am puzzled by the acronyms used in many of the postings. Some are easier than others to figure out: LOL, DH, ...
This question probably is asked often-- is there a listing of the acronyms and their meanings anywhere? If not, we need to make one!

LOL=laughing out loud, laughing on line
LMAO=laughing my a$$ off
dh=dear husband
dd=dear daughter
ds=dear son
kwim=know what I mean
jmo/imo/imho=just my opinion/in my opinion/in my humble opinion

Not sure there's a decoder list anyplace but if you ask the ones that have you stumped, somebody can offer a translation...

and here I thought that d... meant darling.

silly me

d can mean many things --- damn, darn, dimwitted, you get the picture -- in my case it is definitely DEAR, but I don't know your DH.

bj, LOL!

This is one good internet acronym dictionary:

There are others if you do a google search.

My personal fave is:
So Happy It's Thursday!
So far I've been having a "So Happy" day!

:-"

I was wondering about "ttt" - does it have something to do with topping the post?

yes.

ttt=To The Top

Oh, Kal, so that's why!! =-O

I recently had to ask someone here if his constant companion known as LW was his Loving Wife or his Little Woman. I've already forgotten the answer I got.
Another one I see a lot is ROTFL, which is "rolling on the floor laughing". This may be lengthened with MAO . . ."my ass off".

bj,

You have me ROFLMAO...my DH?? That would have to be my DW. Perhaps I should adjust my SA (silly ass) postings to be more masculine???

Patrick - I believe the answer you got was "lady wife". :) Isn't that degas that uses that?

Lady wife? Hmmn.

My former assistant's life partner was so nelly, he referred to him as the he wife.

I'm glad I asked-- what a riot. Thanks for your responses.
Patrick, I think you used it once and I wondered what it meant. Now I, too, can ROFLMAO!!
Any others?

Oh, my gosh, I had no idea. Just checked the website recommended by jim_mi, and found some favorites:
L2BS- Licence To BS
LOML- Light Of My Life
LOWNBTD- Laid Off With Nothing Better To Do
LTBF- Learn To Be Funny
LTIC- Laughing Till I Cry
LTIP- Laughing Till I Puke
LTNS- Long Time No See
LTR- Later
LU4E&A- Love You For Ever And Always
LYLY- Love You and Leave You

And those are just some of the Ls...

Kal- as always... BRB I'm ROTFLOL... TTYL!

Kal-I have just been corrected by my 15 yo....she says its ROTFLMFAO. (Figure that one out.)

I'll be it's "Rolling on the floor laughing my fat ass off"!

I think that last F stands for something else but I am WAY too angelic to say it. O:)

Lost my post some where, BUT, Coldie, you are so right.

This is extremely informative. (I'm being sincere, by the way....)

I always thought LOL was lots of love. It makes SO MUCH more sense, now!

Thanks for all the acronym help! I hate having to ask my teens for the definitions...it makes them feel so superior!! LOL

A new one my teenager finally clued me in to is PITR (parent in the room) - used when kid is on computer and wants person sending her IM (instant messanges) to know not to send anything the parent should not see.

Oh, if you only knew the acronyms teens are using online.

Yes, I'm afraid the world of IM is a parallel universe of its own. Kids seem to take on another whole persona when they IM each other, and I've been shocked by some of the messages I've seen-- and those are just the ones my teens showed me. It's grim. Plus, the kids get 'addicted' to it, and you hear that stupid chime going off all the time, like when they are supposedly doing homework on the computer. Don't get me started...
