Setting this up because, let's face it, there's some internet acronyms out there that we just don't get. I hate browsing the forums and seeing little random strings of letters and having no clue what they mean and I'm sure many people feel the same way.

So what the heck does OTP mean anyway?

Only the protein, off the porn, other than pasta, otter touch point?

I'm wondering about x3. Because I always just assumed it meant the person was so serious about something that they were saying it 3 times in a row for emphasis, but I have my doubts.

X3-- Look sideways. It's like an "adorable" face.

Lawl, I was wondering about OTP too, but then when I realized it-- I frowned because sometimes the one true pairing, is more like one true crack.

XD will be my favorite smiley of all time. I use it all the time.

I laughed so much after reading that!! XD

LMTO I saw a while ago, but now I know that the phrase tends to start with 'laughing my ... off', I think I know what that means... :D
ZOMG I don't get either, come to think of it. I know it's a version of 'oh my God', but what's the z mean?!

Has anyone here read the 1337 (leet = general internet slang, subbing letters for numbers, stupid abbreviations, adding 0RZ on the end of words for no good reason and so on) article on wiki? It's one of the most hilarious things I've seen. Its brilliance lies in taking what it quite possibly the most non-serious topic ever and writing a giant article about it in a completely textbook way:

Quote:
"Care is taken by users of Leet to combine similarly timed words, or to encipher words into ways such that they have a common rhythm or rhyme. An example of this is the phrase "roffle my woffles" (note both spelling error (woffle) and word timing) ("roffle" is derived from the phonetic pronunciation of the acronym ROFL). Other examples would be "roxorz your boxorz" (in this case, rhyming)."


Hm... acronyms that had me puzzled for a while:

AU - Alternate Universe (characters from a fandom in a different setting... like Phoenix Wright Mecha.)
OTP - One True Pairing (the one pairing you love above all others)
IM(H)O - In my (Humble) Opinon
WTF - What the F***? (basically confusion)
BTW - By the Way
HTH - Hope this Helps
RL - Real life (i.e. not online)
Pr0n - Porn
N00b - Moron

OMG is "Oh my God!", but Zomg! is basically used in the same way, but is more fun to say aloud. Writing OMG totally phonetically (Oh. Em. Gee.) is occasionally used by me to show total shock.

Those are the ones I can think of offhand, though there are zillions more.

And I once heard that "ZOMG" meant "Zombies! Oh My God!"... I have no idea if it's true, though... Eh?

=3 :D D: XD X3 ^^ ^.^ ^_^ are my often used smilies:

=3 - Adorable =)
:D - Yay
D: - Oh noes!
XD - To me, this means a moment of "God I could slap myself"
X3 - Adorable XD
^^ - Happy
^.^ - Happy furry (the . looks like a furry's nose, there's also happy dragon/snake/scaly: ^..^ or ^.=.^ where . becomes the nostril and = is the bridge of the nose)
^_^ - happy human
in those cases ^ can be replaced by n if wanted (n.n n_n n.=.n)

I don't use much acronyms, but lol and rofl are my usual ones, along with their vehicular parallels (lollerskates, roflcopter) =3

AFAIK = And For All I Know

Basic stuff and all, but still.
