*squeee* Sure, katya!

Actually, all this let's-print-stuff came to me cuz I decided to read the Tengwar thread properly - but of course got distracted by the links, finding one I loved but forgot the name and hated myself for that... So right now I'm printing them out, to prevent losing it again.

Pytt, in that case, a cuppa white tea for you

Never tasted it myself; but must be good.

littleadanel · 02-27-2006, 07:56 AM

Hah! Somebody is lurking! Care for some tea, O One Beneath the Elven Cloak?

sun-star · 02-27-2006, 08:06 AM

*jumps*

That would be me, I think... Yes, I'll have some tea (don't like it in real life but it's great here). Like you I've got a cold and am trying to keep warm...

littleadanel · 02-27-2006, 08:14 AM

Ohh.

*wraps a blanket around sun-star, then gets one for herself too*

*pours tea* Hot tea with honey always good for cold...

sun-star · 02-27-2006, 08:16 AM

Mmm, nice... *pulls blanket on over elven cloak*

wow offline for two days and a new edition of the cafe is already out

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 02-27-2006, 12:31 PM

need some help. ive been stumbling around for awhile now and ive seen some abbreviations and have no clue what they mean. for ex. IMO...no idea. could someone, if they dont mind, let me in on this please.

***Rían*** · 02-27-2006, 12:39 PM

IMO means "In My Opinion"

You can prob. google on "internet abbreviations" for a list

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 02-27-2006, 01:00 PM

thannx rian.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 02-27-2006, 02:14 PM

okay i just did a massive search for abbreviations and had no idea there were so many.

Like AWHFY-are we having fun yet. I have never seen this one used and dont think i ever will. By the way, I'm kinda new to the whole internet thing so if i ever ask something and your like "why doesnt he know that?" thats why. Im slowly learning though

Lotesse · 02-27-2006, 02:18 PM

I know; I've been perusing the internet abbreviations sites too, this morning, after Rian suggested it here. Hey, don't feel bad, Farimir, man when I first came to Entmoot I was totally new to online interactive forums and communicating like this online. I was a total newbie, in efvery sense of the word. I had no idea what IMHO meant, or LMAO, stuff like that. I used to try and guess. It became a fun private game for me, seeing if I could figure out what the abbreviations were without having to ask! The hardest one was ROTFLMAO. Rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off!

***Rían*** · 02-27-2006, 02:25 PM

You're welcome, Faramir

Yes, there's a lot! I'd say here, we mostly use what Lotesse and I already said, plus:

IMHO - in my humble opinion (variation of IMO)

IIRC - if I recall correctly

LOL - laughing out loud

it IS fun trying to figure them out, IMHO

You can usually do it because of the context involved. IIRC took me a long time but I finally got it, because people would always use it and then refer to something that had happened in the past.

I can't think of any more offhand - I don't think we use a ton of them here, but we definitely use a few.

its kinda a fun game sometimes.

The one that got me for awhile was "smh" i thought for the longest time that ment " small minded human"

That made me feel like an idiot.

The last sane person · 02-27-2006, 02:30 PM

Can I get drunk please?

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 02-27-2006, 02:33 PM

Spock · 02-27-2006, 02:34 PM

Oh, Lotesse, YOU, use abbreviations? hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

The last sane person · 02-27-2006, 02:36 PM

No, I have never had an Irish car bomb. Will it get me drunk?

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 02-27-2006, 02:39 PM

yeah it will get you drunk. its a shot of irish whiskey and a shot of irish cream in a double shot glass and you drop it in a half pint of gueniuss(spelling) and then chugg the whole glass. taste like chocolate milk

Lotesse · 02-27-2006, 02:40 PM

Oooo, Irish Car Bombs! *raises hand* Me please! What a great way to start a monday, eh? Ta hell with this coffee; I want an Irish Car Bomb.

The last sane person · 02-27-2006, 02:43 PM
