What does all this chat room slang mean?
For those of you who might be new to chat rooms or instant messaging, we've attempted to compile a dictionary of common chat room slang and chat acronyms. Communication in chat rooms and instant messengers has evolved into its own pseudo-language that allows people to ask questions or make comments with a minimal amount of typing. In chat rooms, most slang is typed in lower case. Remember, typing in ALL CAPS indicates you are SHOUTING!! Use capitalization sparingly.
Disclaimer
We didn't make this stuff up. You might see a little profanity below but we feel its better to be informed than to be ignorant. Many of the acronyms below are universal and are used even where the native language is not english.
Green colored texts = most frequently used in this chat room.
