Munera 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Hi! I'm having a great time in the EU servers and I've met a lot of people. There's only a bad thing with this. Some expressions or abreviations are used and I don't know what do they mean. I don't wanna keep on asking everytime I see a new one, and it's a very embarrasing thing. So could you make a list for me of all the expresions used online? I already know brb and afk Thanks in advance! CURRENT LIST AFAIK - as far as I know AFK - Away from Keyboard BB - Bye Bye BB10 / BB in 10 - Be back in 10 minutes BBIAB - Be back in a bit BIF - before I forget BRB - Be Right Back BTW -By the way CU / CUL - see you, see you later FYI - For your information. GLGH - Good Luck and Good Hunting GG - Good Game, it's a way to say goodbye while also saying that it was fun. GTG / G2G - got to go GZ - Gratz or Congratulations HTH - hope that helps TBH - To be honest IDK - I don't know IIRC - If I recall correctly IMO - in my opinion KTHX - Ok, thanks! LMAO - Laughing my ass off OMG - Oh my god RE - Re-Hello or Hello Again ROTFL - rolling on the floor laughing Sec - wait a second TTFN - Ta ta for now TTYS - Talk to you soon U2 - You too or You as well or You also... WB - Welcome Back WTB/S - Want to Buy/sell YASD - yet another stupid death Smileys, aka faces ^_^ Super-happy face O_O a 'Holy Hannah!-is-that' face ¬_¬ a 'oh FFS/not again' face XD a 'AAHHAHHAHHA ROFLMAO' face : D Happy face =D Happier face than the happy face =| 'ugh, great' face =/ 'ugh, great' face =\ 'ugh, great' face O_o o_O o.o O.O Kinda curious 'Huh?' face V_V kinda bored-sad-tired face (think of the 'V' as your eyelids) Q_Q Crying face, the tails are tears T_T Crying face.

GZ = Gratz or Congratulations U2 = You too or You as well or You also... FYI = For your information. Another way to say BTW as Knuckles mentioned above. Link to comment

sam6555 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 RE = Re-Hello or Hello Again I believe RE is the French version of Welcome Back, as I was in a guild in Guild Wars where most of the people spoke french (alot of them were canadians) and well yea, thats what they said Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 how about these: ^^ = what's this one mean? and I see these all the time XD = :/ = Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Don't think so since I have seen that people that re-enter servers say it, would be quite weird if they where saying "Welcome Back" to themself. Link to comment

I have probably used alot more myself, but I don't remember them <(oh look another one) Don't think so since I have seen that people that re-enter servers say it, would be quite weird if they where saying "Welcome Back" to themself. Yea I never understood that either, unless the french don't have any words for 'I'm Back' (or an abbreviation of it at least) Edited February 24, 2010 by sam6555 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,072 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sam, that's a nice list...can you put explanations besides them...so we can know what they mean? Thanks! gogo Link to comment

Thanks! gogo Okay They don't all have meanings, or meaning that can easily be put into words but I'll do my best =D EDIT: edited my older post (#20) Edited February 24, 2010 by sam6555 Link to comment
Woody 24 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 RE = Re-Hello or Hello Again I believe RE is the French version of Welcome Back, as I was in a guild in Guild Wars where most of the people spoke french (alot of them were canadians) and well yea, thats what they said Correct, In french "RE" mean "I'm back" and ''welcome back".

For example, some of the pix you threw up show one kind of emotion along a scale, right ? Meaning they are a kind of intensity? gogo p.s. ahhh, the French RE...famous ! I had always wanted to know where it came from originally ^^ Link to comment
Woody 24 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 p.s. ahhh, the French RE...famous ! I had always wanted to know where it came from originally ^^ If I'm not wrong, it's from the verb "Revenir'' (coming back..) "Je suis revenu" ->> "I'm back" ->> abreviation : 'RE'. It was the french lesson of the month with woody. Link to comment
