    So was wondering could someone post a list of all of the abbreviations that are used on boards cuz I keep coming across them and don't realy know what most of the mean. I know what fs, rotflmao is but IMHO and other ones like that i don't. So if someone could do that it would be great. thanks:D

    imho - in my humble (honest) opinion
    fs -fúck sake
    ffs-for fúck sake
    lol - lough out loud
    roffle - taken from roflol - rolls on floor laughing out loud
    roffle mayo - taken from roflmao - rolls on floor laughing my ass off
    STFU - shut the fúck up


    um, what other ones do you need to know?

    l33t = elite

    It is l33t 5p33k. To translate just substitue the numbers for letters and read the shorthand. its is used widely in the warez community kinda like a symbol of how "elite" they are.

    For all the abbreviations you don't know they http://www.acronymfinder.com .It even has most common l33t term.
