Perhaps we should turn this into a thread full of internet abbreviations? Most successful boards have a thread such as this. Here's some to get you started:

Idiot (read: dGalacticos/kcgpen - the old version)
YHaIPoYH = You Have an Inverted Penis on Your Head

P.S. (read: Idiot - see above)

Etc.

[Zygalski]

I know what they mean, it was an Reteracall question!!

original know's the deal...
this is the most interesting spelling I've seen in a while :)

[mutu]

it was an Reteracall question!!

It was a what now?


edit: Damn, see two posts above

That'll teach me get here late :(

[Nifty1Pound50]

Reteracall (adj. pos. alw. sing.)(also Reter-a-Call) - 1. The act of Retering a call, i.e. the process by which one would reter a call (see also Render-a-Call). Ancient Aborigine spelling of render, always singular. Note: Usually applies to mating calls, but can also apply to the modern, more up-market telephonecalls. 2. Small fibula-esque bone, that lies in the spinal cord of certain vertibrate mammals, such as the two-tongued chipmunk. Often consists of three parts; the major reter, the minor reter, and the humoglobulingus fluoridescus.

I hope that clears it up.

Well actually they have all got it wrong, IMO has no meaning, it is a symbol put either before or after a statement that comes from the writers rear orifice.

Come on TJ. :) It was a fair question and people answered it. Then some of us were having a bit of a laugh at 7RONALDO7 and his interesting spelling for "Reteracall" :)

I don't tend to LOL too much so I'm going to start writing LOQ - laugh out quietly ;)

[toinjoints]

ehehehehe no problem i was just playing the victim for a while ehehehehehe

wats subtlety mean? sorry im a twat :D loq

[LiamK]

Well actually they have all got it wrong, IMO has no meaning, it is a symbol put either before or after a statement that comes from the writers rear orifice.

The abbreviation is completely useless, people use it so when they get criticised they can reply with that "you have your opinion, I have mine..." excuse for just being incredibly stupid.

Person A: IMO Zidane is shit/All non-whites should die/Forlan is a 30+ striker/ etc..

Person B: Prat.

Person A: It's a free country and it's my opinion blah blah blah...


It's just used to disguise stupidity.

However, LOL, OMG and WTF are used to highlight stupidity.

wats subtlety mean? sorry im a twat :D loq

Yes you are, glad that's clarified.
