    Is there anywhere I could find a list of acronyms. I feel like I am in a early learning stage in regards to computers and my identity. I do know lol, Imo, lmao. I guess that's a place to start.

    I moved this into Chit-Chat since you'll probably get more responses here. :slight_smile:

    Are there any specific acronyms you want to know?

    Ones I personally use around here:

    LOL = laugh out loud
    IMO = in my opinion
    TBH = to be honest
    OFC = of course
    AFAIK = as far as I know
    QFT = quoted for truth (basically quoting another person's post because you agree with it wholeheartedly)
    tl;dr = too long; didn't read (also used as the start of a summary)
    LGBTQ* = Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer (* for all the less common sexual and gender identities that I can't be bothered to list every time)
    GSM = gender and sexual minorities (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong)

    urbandictionary.com has a lot of acronyms, in addition to slang (more than you ever wanted to know...).
