I have been on t'internet for quite a long time, since 1992, when it was all green screens and muds on telnet. Was chatting the other day and someone didn't know what IRL meant... I thought that was real crazy.. I mean PMSL LOL ROTFL are all the same but there are prob a lod of others I am not aware of... for example I the whole l77t thing pased me by even though I was playing network doom at the right time.
So anyone want to add some less obvious ones with this ol' fella to bring him up-to-date!

Call me a 'saddo' of you like, but I haven't got a clue what 'IMHO' means. PMSL? What's that, as well? Go on, enlighten me.

Ah, right. Thanks, Phalynx, for clearing that up. What about ZOMG?
I know that 'OMG = Oh, My God", but... Z? I dunno...

ZOMG is piss-take - of those who get all excited and overly-use OMG - and press Z whilst holding down the shift key, and also a mockery of internet slang in general.
If done properly, the ZOMG mockery should look something like this:
ZOMG!!!!onetoeleventy!!!1!1!1cos(0)!!FORTYTWO!!!11!!!
