    Don't know if this has been done before but there are so many abbreviations in some posts and I don't have a clue what they are.
    Could we put them all somewhere, like a dictionary we can refer back to it if we get stuck :D

    Wtf - what the f*ck
    Btw - by the way
    Imo - in my opinion
    Imho - in my honest opinion
    Afaik - as far as I know
    Lol - laughing out loud
    Rofl - rolling on floor laughing
    Idgaf - I dont give a f*ck (im guessing)

    From my small experience in family law matters I'd imagine that is a phrase that is used rather frequently in the parenting forum :D

    "LOL"

    Laugh out loud, like when you are at work and can't laugh, or at home and don't want to look like a sad individual by laughing on your own.
    So people use "LOL" to say they didn't really laugh out loud in real life, but still want to make you feel better about your comments.
