ROTFL
Rushtown
When I saw ROTFL I couldn't figure it out for about
20 seconds. But because it usually came right after
I made a very important point in a very persuasive
way I figured it meant "Right On The Fuckin' Line".
Only today I read a post where someone says it
means "Rolling On The Floor Laughing." This
couldn't be the real meaning, could it? STFU if
you don't agree with me.

Are people really *this* lazy? I think we've become too much of an
acronym-based society (ABS).

I think it's just a question of emphasis: a lot of energy (and
money) is today expended on "abs" (abdominal muscles, or perhaps
abdominal muscle structure, in which case it's also ABS).

There were a few in the Grauniad this morning. One of them was even
quite good:
YOYOOYOTE
You're on your own once you open the envelope
Allegedly, not wishing to cast aspersions on *i**o*o**'* after-sales
service.
And nobody's mentioned 'voracity' for 'veracity' yet.

Oh, no! You mean, the mail I might send from a Hotmail account I have (doesn't
everybody?) should not reach you? Bill, the rich one, would not be too happy to
know that! After all, MSN, who owns Hotmail now, is *his* baby.
OK, I'll refrain from accosting you via Hotmail. Sheesh!

If you are posting a reply, please, do not email it. It just confuses me.
