Brushing up your cyber-chat & singles chat lingo
Brush up
on your singles chat. Did You Know that chat rooms are replacing
dating personals
If you're a Newbie (someone new to chat rooms), it may take some getting
used to—cyber-chat is fast and many phrases have been pared down into
short and simple acronyms.
IAE
(in any event), once you get it down, you'll find that the chat room is a
great way to make new friends and maybe even find your next BF
(boyfriend), GF (girlfriend) or SO (significant other).
What's nice is that you can get to know each other B4 (before)
you meet F2F (face to face) IRL (in real life). And BTW
(by the way), the
WTH (what the heck), GA
(go ahead) and give it a whirl, even if it's just FYA
(for your amusement) or to ask someone WU (what's
up?)? Everyone seems to be having a blast, and people
tell us that they're often ROTFL
(rolling on the floor laughing), LOL (laughing
out loud), or LIS
(laughing in silence), IYKWIM (if you know what I
mean).
If you're SITD (still in the dark), check out
this dictionary of acronyms and then try to DIY
(Do It Yourself) in the chat room.
TTFN
(ta ta for now) and GL (good luck).
