The "IMHO, BAO LOL" Story
It was an ordinary day. I had just finished typing another entry for my blog. Have been doing this for almost a year now. At times I get a few comments from people and at times I can't figure out what they are saying to me. They use these "acronyms" that I can't figure out. Many forums on the web that I look at all the time have tons of people that use these "acronyms" and I usually have to ask my wife what they mean. Some times she can help me figure out what they stand for and other times she can't. Some of the easy acronyms we figured out were IMO (In my opinion), IMHO (In my honest opinion), AISI (As I see it), BAO (Be aware of), LOL (Laughing out loud), OMG (Oh, my God), JMHO (Just my honest opinion), :) (Smiley face), :( (Sad face). And then I get this comment with the "acronym" ROTFLMAO. You think we could figure that out. No way. So Carol called our daughter Brynn and asked her. She texts all the time and uses email all the time so she had to know what that meant. She was stumped. So, she called a girl who babysits for her and is in high school. Asked her. She knew! We get a call back and she tells us it means: Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off! WOW! (That means Wow). It's a whole new language. Then I find out that there is a web site called Internetslang.com which lists all these "acronyms" and what they mean. I guess I'm going to have to use it more when I type and write. But, wouldn't it be easier to just type the word instead of looking for a few initials that mean the same. IMHO it would B. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
