Please can anyone explain what all the other abbreviations mean.

Answer 1

ROFL Rolling On Floor Laughing
OMG Oh My God
OMFG Oh My F**king God
C U L8R (should be self-explanatory) see you later
^5 High Five
OBTW Oh, By The Way
OIC Oh, I see
TTFN Ta Ta For Now
TTYL Talk To You Later
WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get

These are some of the most common, but the full list is linked below

Answer 2

ttyl - talk to you later
rofl - rolling on the floor laughing

roflmao - rolling on the floor laughing my *** off
cya - see you
l8er - later
hld on - hold on
2morrow - tomorrow

lewt - treasure; also loot
uber - impressive
uber lewts - a vast ammount of treasure
teh - the
rox0r - rocks
hax0r or h4x0r - hacker
leet, l337, or 1337 - eleite or skilled
w00t or woot - a joyful exclamation or victory shout
pwn - own; usually used in "I will pwn you!" or "pwned!"
ORLY - sarcastic inquiry meaning "oh really?" to which the reply is ALWAYS "RLY" meaning "really."
NO WAI - a sarcastic exclamation meaing "no way." usually following "ORLY"
WAI - the proper response to "NO WAI" meaning "way."

<33 - 2 hearts
:) or (^.^) - smiley face
:( or (^.^;) - sad face
:-s or (^.^*) - confused face
(o.0) - a boggled face

Thats a short list of the ones i could think of off the top of my head. Hope it helps. Keep in mind its constantly evolving as people invent new stuff. In order to help you decode "leet speak" as they call it here are a few tips:

1 = L
3 = E
4 = A
7 = T
0 = O

Basically any letter is substituted with a number that could be seen to resemble it or by another letter that is close to it on the keyboard and commonly typed in error, as is the case in "pwn" (see above).
