After a year, I've finally figured out what an OP is. However, I still don't know what it stands for, and many other abbreviations are completely unknown to me. Can anyone add what commonly used abbreviations on this forum stand for, as an aid to myself and perhaps anyone else who is unsure.
This much I'm sure of:
LOL: Laughing out Loud
ROFL: Rolling On the Floor Laughing
BTW: By The Way
OMG: Oh My God (hardly anyone uses it here, thank goodness. Hey! That made
me think...)
TG: Thank God(?)
OOC: Out Of Character
IC: In Character
ROFLSHCOMOB: Rolling On the Floor Laughing So Hard I am Choking On My
Own Bile (again, hardly used on this forum, unfortunately)

Don't know what OP means either - just use it the way them oldies use it!

TG = Telegram
OP = opening post (or poster sometimes)

OP- original post or original poster

what gets me is OT sometimes it means off topic and sometimes people mean original topic.


for a while

tl;dr got me but I figured it out.

OP is for original post or original poster, no?

When I see OT I always think, "Old Testament." But then I'm a Jew, that's how I roll.

IBTL In before the lock, replying just for the sake of doing so before a mod locks it.

That makes sense. Well, that answers my question. I guess just fill the rest of the thread with more abbreviations or gibberish.

QFT still confuses me. Is it "Quite Fucking True"? Or "Quoted for Truth?"

oh, I see OT as "old testament" until I read context, but sometimes even in context it's hard to decide if they mean off topic or original topic and for years here it has meant off topic, but lately it's been interchanged.

Ironically, in this thread, the OT is OT.

AFAIK had me clueless for ages, but I worked it out eventually.

I know I'm going to get made fun of for this, but on another forum much like this one (Called the "Off-topic" in World War Two Online, except infinitely more politically incorrect and more conservative), they frequently use a term "LTP". I have no idea what this means, though my sick twisted mind hints at all kinds of things....

depends on context, it could mean sex, it could mean crapping, it could mean making off topic posts.

without context I can't answer for certain as to WTH they are talking about.

Possibly "Long Time Player". Difficult with no context.

I admit that some are forum/NSG-specific, but allow me to link to a nice site that ought to be a good reference for many acronyms, bot formal and informal: http://acronymfinder.com/

There often is a rather large number of possibile hits, but that's a pro as well as a con.

Learn to play most likely. Though I most often encounter it "abbreviated" as L2P.

FFS took me awhile before I actually looked it up...

Don't ask me what they put in the water today, but it just happened that I had the desire to be polite, and helpful, and all.

Which reminds me to post a source muh more reliable to contain acronyms NSG gets a good wear out of, namely www.urbandictionary.com*

* kindly note TG's (no, not telegram, and not thank god) entry for fluffle at said honorable location, which is what led me there my first time.

I Stumbledupon a site yesterday that was full of IRC logs, highlighting the best, sillyest and funniest quotes one of which was.

'What the fuck does WTF mean?'

I have always understood OP as opening post/er

I love you all like you're a pile of nekkid womens.

Wait, we're all piles or each of us is a naked woman and we happen to be in a pile?

You're all different piles. It used to be one big mountain pile of nekkid womens but I organized them and gave the piles names. Your pile is named Dinaverg, and has mostly large-breasted Swedish 18-year-olds.
