OMG = Oh My God
zOMG = Oh My God (with 'z' typo, the 'z' key being near the shift for caps)
WTF = What The Fuck?
WTH = What The Hell?
LOL = Laughing Out Loud
LOLz = Plural of "lol"
lawl = Verb of a phonetic "lol" (I lawled, he lawled)
ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing
LMAO = Laughing My Ass Off
LMFAO = Laughing My Fucking Ass Off
BBQ = Be Back Quick
AFK = Away From Keyboard
FTW = For/Fucks The World (in a positive way)
4TFW = For The Fucking World
of course you can combine these to make things like
ROFLMFAO (Rolling On Floor Laughing My Fucking Ass Off)
and the all too-famous
OMGWTFBBQROFLMFAO!!!!111ONEONEHUNDREDELEVEN (the 11 originating from releasing shift too early after exclamation marks. the 'one's coming from just making fun of people who release shift early)
then of course these are just the acronyms.
a general l33t-sp33k alphabet (though there are literally hundreds of variations)
A = 4, /-\
B = 8, |3
C = <, (, {
D = |)
E = 3
F = |=
G = 6, 9
H = |-|
I = 1, !, |
J = _|
K = |<
L = 1, !, |_
M = |\/|, |v|, [\/], (etc)
N = |\|
O = 0, ()
P = |>
Q = (2
R = |2
S = 5
T = 7, +
U = |_|, (_)
V = \/
W = \/\/
X = ><
Y = -/
Z = 2
then of course there are word exceptions:
'the' is NOT spelt '7|-|3'.
it is commonly more accepted as 't3h' or 'teh', originating from the common typograph.
'you' is accepted as 'j00', coming from the eastern european 'j' as a 'y' (egs: 'ja') and thus, 'j00' and 'j00r'.
a 'n00b', 'nub', 'noob', 'n00bo' or other variation is a derogatory term for newbies who just plain suck and don't get better over time.
you'll pick it up.
i'm too lazy to continue.
and no, i didn't copy and paste this.
edit: yeah,
owned, pwned, etc etc.
roflcopter (from the flash game)
lollerskates
lmaoplane (from the Microsoft Sam speec engine, it pronounced 'lmao' as 'ler-MAY-oh', thus 'ler-MAY-oh-plane')
and then GG is common courtesy for good game at the end of a round, 'gf' for a short term fight (like a knife fight or something)
yeah i'll stop.
