Ok, ive had it, ive tried my best to translate but im just a bit stoopid. I know the obvious ones like lol, pmsl, rofl, lmao. But theres loads of Acronyms knockin around on this site and i know very few!! The straw that broke the camel's back was TBH!

ok so what are the different Acronyms being used and what do they mean?

Someone start with tbh! Thanks!
