  • estvir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Maybe I'm not cool enough but I haven't ever seen people use 90% of the those and I'll tell you now, I spend a freaking large amount of time on the interweb in IRC, Messenger and other places.

  • vsujohn2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you are going to comment please RTFA. Thank you :-)
    And i doubt the official AIM list would have anything that translates to something with curse words in it. WTF is what the freak, WTH....what the heck....etc
    OMFG- Only midgets fight goats? Ok that last one didnt make sense......
  • vgcf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3FFS STFU
  • agentbob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2marked as inacurate.... the title says "most used" .. i've never heard of at least half of these other than when i read this list a few years ago
  • WVUChrisF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been using AIM and other messanger programs forever now, and I've never seen a lot of these acronyms.
  • serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hate it when people are too lazy to type out a whole word or sentence. If anyone starts talking to me like that in email or on messenger, I know to stay the hell away from them! Or if they can't spell or use grammar properly, the internet is a good test of stupidity.
  • teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2AOL is not a reliable source for what is trendy.

  • manifestdata, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nowhere near as cool as writing 55318008 on your calculator and then turning it upside down.
  • teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What does the extra 'B' stand for?
