otterpond 1 year, 1 month ago said: The New Texting Vocabulary On another thread it was brought up how confusing some of these new "words" can be. Texting vocabulary is a horrible shorthand that can take forever to learn. I'm an avid on-line game player and have been for two years. I'm also an old fart and never got military speak much less this new lingo. Here is a short list I've compiled for survival in my online universe.
imho = in my humble opinion nvm = never mind mt = miss-tell (meant to say this to someone else) plz = please ty = thank you brb = be right back bio = need a potty break afk = away from keyboard cu = see you later rofl = roll on floor laughing lol = laughing out loud
The list goes on but these are my survival ones. Anyone have some more to share?

And that gets me thinking about the non-verbal texting communication. I have had to learn these to communicate on my World of Warcraft guild forum at www.lemmingjuice.net . Sigh
