Haha...so here you are! Well guess what...I am so gunna teach you how to speak "Teh Net" yes..."teh" net. Not a misspelling at all. This odd language is often harder than the English language to learn, because...things can mean several things at once. It's a strong case of detective work to interpret the hidden meaning behind the language. (People most proficient at this tend to be in the 12-19 year old range, be forewarned! devil )

Ah now..let's see...where to begin. We shall start with the basics, always a good place!

LOL/LOLZ/LAWL/LAWLZA Meaning to "laugh out loud"
LMAO Meaning to "laugh my a** off"
LMFAO Meaning to "laugh my f***ing a** off"
ROFL Meaning to "roll on the floor laughing" (sometimes rotfl)
ROFLMAO/ROTFLLMAO A combination used most commonly when something is utterly hilarious.
IMO Meaning "In my opinion"
IMHO meaning "in my honest opinion" or "in my humble opinion"
JMO meaning "Just my opinion"
FTW Meaning "for the win" or "f*** the world"
FTL Meaning "for the lose"
BTW Meaning "by the way"
BRB meaning "be right back"
AFK meaning "away from keyboard" (though interpreted as "away from comp")
OT meaning "off topic"
PPL meaning "people"
ADN meaning "any day now"
TTYL meaning "talk to you later"
TT4N/TTFN meaning "ta ta for now"
G2G meaning "Got to go"
W/E meaning "whatever"


Those are the most common ones used, however...we havn't even begun to scratch the surface of this language! Now that you have the basics understood...let's talk about common things. bigsmile

Firstly, letters will be replaced with numbers. This is a MUST! For example: the letter "A" will no longer be used. Ever. From now on, all letter "A"s shall be replaced with the number "4". "The" is no longer "the" but now "teh", "M"s are no longer "M"s but now done like thus: "/\/\" Whenever speaking about more than one thing, you shall forever pluralize it by adding "0rz" to the end of it. (with a zero, not an "O")

Have you been confused yet? lol No worries! Study this, we shall continue with the studies shortly. devil devil laugh laugh laugh


(yeah...don't mind me...utterly bored and thought it would be funny lmao For those truely interested though, you can check out a flash video a friend of mine made here: http://etoli.deviantart.com/art/LOLZA-65405411 or you can check out this site which really goes into full details for those very lost: http://www.safesurfingkids.com/interpreting_internet_slang.htm)
