It's the time again folks, what's your favoruite online abbreviation? This should cause a few arguments, lol! But don't let that lol influence your vote, they're all worthy imo.

There will be a round 2 - the top 5 from each will progress.

I would have to say stfu, it's simple, short, and gets the point across... and if people get carried away ---> stl = stop the lights!
Or of course kthxbye, nice way of telling people to buzz off.

I hate lol and kk!
Typical msn convo

User1: How are you?
User2: gd u?
User1: Not too bad.
User2: kk,lol.

Am I the only one who doesn't lol?

What is up with vbulletin putting every first letter in capitals in quoted text lately?

I probably use tbh the most so voted for it.

********************UPDATE**********************

Looks like a three horse race with stfu slightly ahead of tbh and ftw, but will the voting change when the 9-5 demographic logs on on monday? That'll be one of many interesting side stories to what looks like it will be a bitter blood bath of a battle. This makes Obama and Clinton look like a small argument over pens.

Don't rule out lol and nh either, bookies pre tourament favourite oesfd has gone a bit France '02, can it get it together for a late surge?

Didn't even notice it. Upgrade related? Start a bug reports thread I guess.

Hmmm, why didn't it happen now?

It seems to do it entirely at random. It's only happening since the upgrade anyway, quite odd though.

This thread is very serious and does not welcome abbreviations such as ffs, or indeed any abbreviations at all.
