ABBREVS

hey dudes real quick can we provide some real examples of overuse of internet abbrev inna early 09 hoos/roxy stylee lol <3 tbh

like provide quotations or invent u own imo either way tbrr

"to be really real"?!

- you and rox using "tbh", "iirc" and "imo" as the meaning the same thing

rev u never heard tbrr

be srs

i think we've used tbrr various times on aim

iirc abbrevs have been essential to the nu nu nu 1p3 era and its unique style of concision and lolz

rly tho

lookin for extended usess that are not about abbrevs in and of themselves, where they have some kind of context

am i making this not fun

tbh i don't understand what your last post even means. maybs it's just me tho

the motive behind gratuitous abbrev usage shifted from the commentary on internet acronyms to the commentary on the commentary on internet acronyms sometime around July 23, 2009, ii(imho)rc.

like

just tryna find examples of use of abbrevs where the whole post aint like 'tbh' and the followup is 'afaik'

a cthulhu is not a squid iirc??????

Young teen girls owned this way long ago via phone text messages. Hoos and Roxy way cooler though.

are there any further examples iyo

you jerks have basically ruined the english used in my internal monologue iirc

proposal for the board: imil == i mean it's like...i am working this into my internet conversation due to frequent use fwiw

my internal monologue is ruined too. normally i think "god...what?!" at people and now it's more like "lmbo tbh"

pretty sure the answer is SEVERAL BOTTLES OF WHISKEY itc

itc = in this case? if so, welcome to my personal abbrev lexicon, itc

do any of you guys remember the abbrev csmb (cupid saved my butt) and its racier cousin csma (cupid saved my a$$) from the old America Online game Slingo? I've been meaning for years to work those terms into my everyday speech, but to no avail.

my favoriteis "tbrr w/u"

"imo...in everyone's o"

to me this is the point where shit got real:

chelives1986 (2:20:25 AM): ^^^^^^ that DUDE imo
roxymuzak (2:20:29 AM): THAT DUDE AFAIK
chelives1986 (2:20:54 AM): just sayin that dude <6 if u will + btw
roxymuzak (2:21:25 AM): that DUDE iirc + imo, tbh
roxymuzak (2:21:33 AM): is n/l
chelives1986 (2:21:44 AM): otm
roxymuzak (2:21:46 AM): ty
chelives1986 (2:21:55 AM): np

and also that one thread where we just inexplicably say "lmp" and "nt" and seem to understand each other

^ prob my favorite exchange ever on ilx

tbtt

i saw a licence plate yesterday that said 11RIC and i thought, if that driver recalls incorrectly.

lol estela

tbuu

ttyih

i don't know what either of those mean.

I just found out what wkiw means

to be uniquely you

talk to you in hell

to be unreally unreal

oops u fail the 1p3 test leave it at front desk

to be totally truthful

to be trilly-trill

truly trill

i suppose they mean the same thing, really

to be technically tautological

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okay#Boston_abbreviation_fad

The abbreviation fad began in Boston in the summer of 1838 … OFM, "our first men," and used expressions like NG, "no go," GT, "gone to Texas," and SP, "small potatoes." Many of the abbreviated expressions were exaggerated misspellings, a stock in trade of the humorists of the day. One predecessor of okay was OW, "oll wright."[19]

The general fad is speculated to have existed in spoken or informal written U.S. English for a decade or more before its appearance in newspapers. OK's original presentation as "all correct" was later varied with spellings such as "Oll Korrect" or even "Ole Kurreck".

"kissing my teeth"

― Cyders from Mars (Noodle Vague),

obv the worst, anyone using it should be euthanised but painfully and slowly and mocked the whole time then woken and told it was all bantz then their throat slit. in front of their loved ones.

funeral service just row upon row of school kids lining up to fart into the wound

I'm the second most recent result for it but I'd imagine I was being ironic or w/e

clearly, darragh, you have never talked to any caribbean women.

I like kmt idk seems fit for purpose to me, if I was gonna get mad at some letters it would be far down the list of offenders

is it even possible to use these unironically in 2017
