You know the basics of chat slang. LOL, LMAO, or even ROTFLMAO. You\u2019re having a great time chatting with another Stranger. But then they send a message like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My boss just called, G2G, BBIAB. I\u2019ll be AFK for 10<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

or maybe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This message is 4YEO :-*<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

OMG! What\u2019s a Stranger to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stranger, I can\u2019t even keep up with these chat acronyms half the time. Just when you think you know them all…new ones pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google search has got your back. For the most part you can type any of those bad boys in and it will spit out a reference for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, the other day I was chatting with another Stranger who said to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CYF \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Google said this could be Chow Yun Fat, Christian Youth Fellowship…wait, no. Cross Your Fingers is what made the most sense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Google isn\u2019t perfect. My go-to is usually UrbanDictionary.com. But there\u2019s also Net Lingo<\/a> and Webopedia<\/a> and Chat Abbreviations<\/a>…honestly, there are so many!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re probably wondering why I didn\u2019t just ask the Stranger, CYF, what does that mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unspoken rule of chat etiquette is: search before you ask<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know about you, Stranger, but if I\u2019m chatting with someone who keeps asking me what I mean…well then it\u2019s time for LMGTFY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be a good chat partner, Stranger. Look up those acronyms. On the flip side, don\u2019t use too many acronyms yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know a better chat acronym source? Come find me in the chat and tell me your favorite. I\u2019m eager to hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
