Internet Slang Terms

Ever wonder what an acronym means in a text message, email, or instant message? New Internet slang terms are created everyday and it can be difficult to keep up with the meanings. The convenience of email and instant messaging is great, but it has also spawned a new modern language referred to as Internet slang.

Internet slang dictionaries exist to help translate this new language. Most people know what slang like "lol" or "imho" mean (laughing out loud, in my humble opinion for the slang impaired), but how about "baf" or "bb4n" (bring a friend, bye bye for now). The Internet Slang Dictionary is a popular site that will translate Internet slang into everday language. It is also very entertaining to browse through. Internet users and text message freaks submit there own terms and they are added or rejected based on popularity. It's a great place to get caught up on the latest Internet slang words.

Of course the slang that you use isn't necessarily what everybody else uses. Many people use a language that may be understood only between their particular friends they communicate with. A "standard" listing of Internet slang does exist however and is growing everyday. Take a look at this site and start learning the language of the digital age.
