What’s the meaning of lol, lmao, rofl, brb, afk, ty, thx, and np in Hubpages?
my favorite:
rotflmao = roling on the floor laughing my @ss off.
There was a program years ago called "PowWow" where you could chat with multiple people at the same time. It could speak all of the LOLs and LMAOs. It could even do LSHCCOMNAIWEDA, which translates to: laughing so hard coke came out my nose and I wasn't even drinking any. That's the longest one I know. LOL
lol - laugh out loud
lmao-laughing my ass off
rofl-rolling on floor, laughing
brb-be right back
afk-away from keyboard..
ty-thank you
thx-thanx
np-no problem
Well,these are nothing but short forms for common phrases used while chatting with your friends and people in general online. Its the bonsai for phrases like;
lol = laugh out loud
lmao = laugh my a** out
rofl = rolling on the floor laughing
brb = be right back
afk = away from keyboard
ty & thnx = thankyou & thanx
np = no problemo
Its not only in hubpages but on the internet generally.
So next time you chat try 'em!!!!
Well, to the first responder I think it is a common practice to use abbreviation while chatting. The use of short words and so called abbreviation makes chatting flow evenly and people could catch up as chatting is sort of a stream of words. For example ppl means people and LMAO mean "laugh my ass off". These are exciting moments where in some cases expressions are good enough to tell individual's mind and concepts. For example I have bunch of rare emoticon which expresses my ideas, concept and wishes just at first site. I am not going to repeat the meanings of the abbreviations because they have all been explained
I think there are negative and positive things about using text/computer abbreviations on HubPages.
The good thing- and in general too, it's just so much easier to respond to a funny message by going:
OMG LOL LOL LOL!!!!
instead of-
Oh my god that was laugh out loud laugh out loudddddddd loud funny!
But also, sometimes it just gets annoying to readers and especially on here, when we write to be understood and not to post gibberish in codes.
lol: laughing out loud
lmao: laugh my ass off
rofl: rolling on the floor laughing
brb: be right back
afk: away from the keyboard
ty: thank you
thx: thanks
np: no problem
I really think this is like anything we do in life. There is evolution in expression. We try so hard in our world to make things shorter and easier. Now, being a country girl I accidently have shortened words like" s'pose, outta, lotta, kin'a, luv ya, gotta, they aren't necessarily shortened they are just habit I do s'pose. The cutest one I know that is the first letter of each word is DILLIGAS. Now figure this one out. Oh, when I was young my sister and I learned very quickly to speak pig latin or double talk. We both speak these very fluently to this day and if talking around our kids and don't want them to know what we are saying. I think the list you have actually was started for a quicker shorter way for people to text. Text messages if not unlimited cost a lot. So shortening them is crucial to young'uns. I look at my daughters text messages and congratulate her for learning a new language, LOL!!!!!
These are abbreviations that many people use instead of writing out the whole thing. But HubPages uses them??
lol: laugh out loud
lmao: laughing my a$$ off
rofl:rolling on the floor laughing
brb: be right back
afk: i'm away from the keyboard
ty: thank you
thx: thanks
np: no problem

One time saw a street slinger with a big garish necklace that said PIMP.
So being a wisenheimer - I googled acronyms on the net and the next day - he laughed when I said that, PIMP stands for "Peeing In My Pants."
He never wore that necklace again.
BTW:
BITCH = Babe In Total Control Honey

In this digital age, texting replaced the formality of actually conversing with another human being by word of mouth. They resorted to common abreviations and most likely will never get out of this new age communication. It's fast and for most convenient but I'm old-fashioned so I don't mind taking the etxra two minutes to type out my message in full, lol
