Sorry, you know you spend too much time in email and such when someone says something funny, and you mentally think "lol" instead of actually laughing. LOL = laughing out loud LMAO = laughing my ass off ROFL = rolling on the floor laughing IMHO = in my humble opinion YMMV = your mileage may vary RTFM = read the f***ing manual BM = Bite me BMFB = Bite me fan boy (my fav) TTYL = talk to you later There are many, many others, but those are some of the most common (besides BM and BMFB which I'm trying to get started) :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
