Thanks for that This is one dumb fish who doesn't what half of these things mean and am left swimming around with no idea at all.

This is a great thread. Here is a new one I just ran into: CMIW (correct me if I'm wrong).

justeyez,

Thanks for the new abbeviation - I added it to my mega-list on page 9 of the thread, in the second frame...

fair - just morphed!!!!

Could have missed it, but haven't seen TTYL..talk to you later or TTFN...tata for now. My 18 year old grandson lived with me for several months recently so I learned a couple I'd like to redefine for the pond. OMG...oh my goldfish and WTF..what the fins

ROFLMFO

TTFN was one of my first abbreviations in IM - but never used it in the Pond . I CMIW.

Took me forever to find out ss meant so sad I thought it mean so sorry ttfn

I would never post WTF here, it is extremely rude! I know you've amended it, but if you hadn't seen this thread, you would only think of the common version.

Hello PurpleBunny! Cheers and TTFN

To All:

Just wanted to let you know that my mega-list of abbreviations has been updated (on page 9 of the thread) to include items from sweetie83 and xoxJulie. I took advice and didn't include questionable abbreviations.

Thank you Fair

I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. We also know what the ROF* means, but redefined no one is offended. I didn't realize anyone would feel differently. No harm intended.

This is so helpful to new fishies like me. Can't think of a one that hasn't been mentioned. Well, here's one I use a lot:

DOH!

That just means I just knocked my keyboard to the floor leaning in to find a hidden object through the bottom half of my bifocals.

Excellant thread! Was wondering what "HTH" meant and found the answer here.

Thanks for starting and keeping this thread alive. Kudos to all~
