If you’re new to the internet or the blog world, you may have noticed that there is a lingo unique to internet users. Several of my readers have asked that I explain what some of these terms mean. So this page is a crash course in internet lingo. I hope it’s helpful.
**Disclaimer** This list is definitely not comprehensive. It is only intended to define the terms that I use frequently here on this blog.
So here you go….a crash course in internet lingo……
ROFL = Rolling On the Floor Laughing
LMBO = Laughing My Butt Off
LOL = Laugh Out Loud
OMGosh = Oh My Gosh (yes, I know it makes me sound like an episode of “Leave it to Beaver”)
KWIM – Know What I Mean?
DD – Dear Daughter
DS – Dear Son
DH – Dear Husband
If you know more lingo and would like to share it, please feel free to leave a comment. As people surf the net, they may find your suggestions really helpful!
