INTGTTTSIWBBHOIHFMP - I need to go to the toilet so I will be back here once I have finished my Poop.
What about the ones that sh!t you? For me it is
(1) over use of lol. Particularly seems to be a trait of young females lol. They type like like something so not funny and they use it all the time lol.
(2) on the seppo newsgroups, every time they answer a question for a newbie: YMMV (your mileage may vary). "Yeah get a 150L board it will plane in 15kn but YMMV" Fine, but not when it as at the bottom of almost every reply
I'm stressed, anyone got an ?

Back to the fryer.
I like the combos; hurt myself doing something stupid after a big night out.
I wonder what this could mean ;.
relatively boring

Current icons and shortcuts have a sowrdid and colourful past.
Basically they come from the old days when naughty works were blocked so p33ps found a way around.
yes LOL and LMAO are over used, and if you ever play online games it gets silly.
Some of them can be just typos
like pron or pwned, google either term, but not at work
anyways
