LOL. No it won't dude. Just read some of the more convoluted theories on here, I guarantee confusion.

Boaz · 26th September 2005, 04:37 PM

Agreed. My last post was by far my most succinct and lucid on these forums.

What are TBH and IMO?
General forum ignorance.

Joel007 · 20th November 2006, 03:33 PM

TBH = To be honest. Usuaully used before a scathing truth or a blatant lie

IMO = In my opinion. Pretty self explanatory.
IMHO means in my humble opinion. All lies!

Werthead · 20th November 2006, 03:44 PM

However, if used in conjunction with the name of Steven Erikson, TBH usually means The Bonehunters, the sixth book in his Malazan series

Joel007 · 20th November 2006, 03:50 PM

oh, well IMO might mean Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad, Intermational Maritime Organization, International Meterological Organization, Irongate Mail Order, or Interdenominational Mudslinging Opposition.

But I'm going to go with In My Opinion

hedgeknight · 20th November 2006, 03:58 PM

Then there are the "fun" acronyms:

LMAO - Laughing My @$$ Off
ROFL - Rolling on the floor
WTF? - What the f**k?

At least these are the ones I use frequently.

-g-

Joel007 · 20th November 2006, 04:03 PM

LOL - Limping over laundry (or possibly laughing out loud)
ROFLMAO - See last post

and the lesser spotted OGMEWIIEMY - Oh God My Eyes Why Is It Eating My Eyes?!?!
