Back when you were a noob to t3h int3rw3B (l0ll, N3wB), did you ever think that certain abreviations were something else?

Like, I used to think that:

FTW = **** The Wall

IMO = I'M a hO
 
LOL = where have my shoes gone? did I put them in the baguette again?
 
I knew them by instinct. It's all in the genes.
 
Actually "lol" is the first word that ever came out of my mouth
I was like 1,5 years old back then and my mom was all like wtf?
 
I used to think STFU = STuFf yoU (It sounds like it)

Shamefully, until recently I thought it was "F*** the What?", a clever inversion of WTF? An extreme / ironic / silly exclaimation of surprise, kind of like "WTFBBQ?!"

My English teacher used to think that LOL meant "lots of love". So people were laughing at her and she just thought they were being sweet ^^
 
I had no idea what LMAO meant until I asked someone. Most of the others made sense after reading a help guide on the old Microsoft Comic Chat.

I thought FTW meant for the win.

Up until I read this post.

:bonce:
 
lol: I'm a liar. I'm not actually laughing in the slightest.
roflmao: I'm a c*nt.
l337: I'm an enormous c*nt.
n00b: I'm trying to insult you by acting like a c*nt.
lollerskatez: I'm still a c*nt.
int3rw3B: I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm severely illiterate under the guise of speaking in a new vernacular that is better than you. I am a c*nt.

Bam! That's right. I went there.
 
i always thought fyi was **** you idiot, until my friends told me otherwise =/
 
I always thought the <3 was a penis and meant something like '**** this' :|
 
"Hey guys, im AFK"

Why the heck is he saying he's 'a fat panda'?
 
<3

I always thought that was two balls and a penis. Just don't ask...
 
I always thought that when people said WTFOMGBBQ they added the BBQ for the sake of making it ridiculous and adding an extra acronym. I didn't realize that BBQ actually means be back quick and not barbeque as I originally thought when they used it.

It's the former.

OMGWTFBBQ (oh my god, what the f*ck, barbeque) - used in a humorous manner in reference to those who abuse Internet slang.
 
i used to think that ftw was **** the what ... u know like wtf backwards just to make it sound funny..
 
I'm going to keep thinking it's barbeque
 
A visit to urbandictionary turned up nothing in the way of BBQ meaning be back quick. I did see it somewhere however urbandictionary does not lie. It also did point out that BBQ was used to point out absurdity in acronyms. However I did find this gem under BBQ.

Someguy: haha shot you in the face!!!11!!

You do know that all definitions are made by random people on the internet, and the ones that show first are only there because of a vote system... Majority isn't always correct, as it can be misleading and contstrued very easily. For example, people voting the top definition a thumbs up simply because it's the top definition.

I vote for barbeque. It's just random funny :)
