I've been playing poker on yahoo games and people just talk jibberish on there! I've figured what "lol" and "ty" mean, but can anyone fill me in on some of the meanings of other random letters? thanks!

WISYWYG = What you see is what you get. In other words all this jibberish is a lot of rubbish. Long live the dictionary!
Oh and here is me thinking that lol means lots of love .how stupid is that.
I think I will send my 70 year old brother a text message using nothing but acronyms. He will be totally confused pr old sd!

I am similarly situated as you. I figured LOL stands for Laugh Out Loud? Am I correct? But I also don't know what IMAO means. They should publish a new thesaurus bearing the meanings of all these acronyms. Do you know what is WYSIWYG? hA HA..... cHEERS.
