.... I am strongly tempted to toss this in the spam temple or This and That section.... but I will forebear.
Tell me guest... 'why' do you want to know that Aol chitchat?
Most of it is simple enough to guess, and the rest of it is made up of ambiguos inuendos and dilluted leet.
The good news: Sites such as urban dictionary are quite common and should an acronym/word come up you are not used to... you can search.
Besides. Anything beyond Lol/tpsc tends to come out rather... :cough: un-forumlike:
"OMG! Rtfm n00b, or STHU and stop bumping my threads with posp!"

If it was directed at me, I assure you that I 'don't' talk like that:
For the reasons mentioned.
Though for example purposses, it is somewhat fun to bring a little of T2 into the forum. <_<

AFK, BBL, LOL seem to be acceptable. Better to practice your typing.
