That is SO cheating. And it's not *entirely* accurate. I did notice it stayed a little PC in its definitions.

That is a really awesome find, btw.

WTF? They don't list WTF on that big list. Keeping it G-rated, I guess. Still, they found a way to get LMAO in there....

haha, on a somewhat related note, my sister shared this story last week:

She plays .. some game.. Slingo maybe?... online, which has a chatroom type feature so players can communicate with each other. Her 8 year old son frequently watches over her shoulder. He's pretty good at reading, but frequently has to ask her what certain words are. She explained that they are abbreviations to help them talk online faster.

He said her friends needed to stop doing that so that he could understand them. Hahaha What's awesome is, one of them actually did, just for Ty.

OK, maybe that's not a real one... but some of you know you're gonna use it!

OK, maybe just me.
