    Re: Acronyms

    BFF= Bro's forever, ****er! Although I'd accept best ****ing friends. I think that's the only one I have.

    For a long, long time I had no idea what 'ttyl' meant. I didn't even try assigning anything to it because it's confusing enough already. I hate acronyms with a passion. They're like inside jokes I never got a memo about.

    I liked that Dodie. Lol, rofl, lmao, lmfao, rolmfaowdritlr (Roll over laughing my f*cking arse off whilst drinking ribena in the living room). <---- That's what annoys me. When acronyms evolve.

    Or when people make words from them like lolcat, or rolfcopter. Sure, they sound funny the first time but then you're just making a world from a selection of words. It isn't so cute when said as laughoutloudcat.

    Somebody once said to me g'byesies. What's that all about? I get that they were probably trying to be cute but please... There's a craze out there for using abbreviations longer than the actual word. Not cool. It confuses bro's like me.

    Bottom line is that they confuse me. I hardly ever know what they mean. They also annoy the crap out of me because I can't help but use them.

    I wish Arnie were here; he had a way with words.

    Re: Acronyms

    Just not a big fan of trying to figure them out. When I use to play MMO's, I was terrible at understanding them. I always felt like an idiot asking what things meant. I can understand there use in a fast paced game, but everyday speech?


    Scene from a movie.
    SPOILER!!:
    [Having pulled over a speeding driver.]
    Mac: All right, how about Cat Game?
    Foster: Cat Game? What's the record?
    Mac: Thorny did six, but I think you can do ten.
    Foster: Ten? Starting right meow?
    [They go up to the car.]
    Driver: Sorry about the...
    Foster: All right meow. Hand over your license and registration.
    [The man gives him his license.]
    Foster: Your registration? Hurry up meow.
    Driver: [laughing] Sorry.
    Foster: Is there something funny here boy?
    Driver: Oh, no.
    Foster: Then why you laughing, Mister... Larry Johnson?
    [Foster stares at him.]
    Foster: All right meow, where were we?
    Driver: Excuse me, are you saying meow?
    Foster: Am I saying meow?
    Driver: I thought...
    Foster: Don't think boy. Meow, do you know how fast you were going?
    [The man laughs.]
    Foster: Meow. What is so damn funny?
    Driver: I could have sworn you said meow.
    Foster: Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?
    [The man is uncontrollably laughing.]
    Foster: You stop laughing right meow!
    Driver: [Stops and swallows hard.] Yes sir.
    Foster: Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law.
    [Rips off the ticket and hands it to the man.]
    Foster: Not so funny meow, is it?
    [Foster gets up to leave, but Mac shakes his hands at him, indicating only nine meows.]
    Foster: Meow!
