message abbreviations-meaning?
 

Could someone please tell me the meanings of these-I keep seeing them and don't know what they mean. LOL, troll, topping, GTG, and ttt. Thanks!

All I know is that lol means laughing out loud. I dunno about the rest! But I would like to know what DH means when you're talking about your spouse!

LOL is laughling out loud
Troll is someone who post messages just to get a reaction
Topping is to get a topic back to the top so it can be seen again.
ttt is to the top and is the same as Topping

GTG is new to me.

Utahtea

GTG means "got to go"
DH- dear husband
SIL- sister in law
DS- dear son
DD- dear daughter
SO- significant other

ttt and topping are the same (ttt stands for "to the top"). It is a message someone will post onto a message that has moved down the list, so it will bring it to the top for more answers or make it easier to find.
GTG is for gathering -- usually a planned meeting or party for posters from a particular region.
Troll is a person who posts a question looking to "bait" people with answers, often of a negative vein, such as "Aren't all French rude?" Also it is often a person who posts under a different screen name than usual, trying to hide his identity, particularly when his post will arouse suspicion or anger.
LOL is Laugh Out Loud. Just a way of saying, "I think that's funny."

GTG = got to go

Gee, learn something new every day. I thought I had been seeing posts about Fodorite GTG, meaning gathering. Oh well.

2 ppl beat me to it...

ppl = people

GTG or G2G = get together

I think GTG is also short for "Get ToGether"?

GTG - Get ToGether

I would've guessed that GTG means got to go.

BTW means by the way!

ok looks like we pinned down GTG!

So y'all are organizing a Dallas Got to Go?

And just had a South Florida Got to Go?

GoTravel - very funny! =D>

There are many more out there!

LOL. ok you've made a good point traveler. maybe GTG has two meanings :-D

Thanks for that GTG expanation. I feel so much better now.

Looks to me as if we "GotToGo" to the "GetToGether"

I hope starrsville will check this to see if "I done good again"!

And there's the all time ridiculous IMHO. There are no humble Fodorites. :-D
