Bungie.net Abbreviation Dictionary

I created this dictionary with people who are new here in mind. So those of you who've been here awhile, don't complain. This thread is for those of you who are new here and get confused with certain popular internet abbreviations used on bungie.net. These are aplhabetized for your convenience. When I was new here, there were some abbreviations i did not know, so I hope this helps. Any suggestions for things i could add to the dictionary will be accepted, just as long as none of them are inappropriate. >>AAMOF- As A Matter Of Fact >>AFAIK- As Far As I Know >>AFK- Away From Keyboard >>ASAP- As Soon As Possible >>BFN- By For Now >>BIF- Before I Forget >>BRB- Be Right Back >>BTDT- Been There, Done That >> BTW- By The Way >>BWL- Bursting With Laughter >>CYA- See Ya >>EOM- End Of Message >>FAQ- Frequently Asked Question >>FTF- Face To Face >>FTW- For The Win >>FUBAR- Fouled Up Beyond All Repair >>FYA- For Your Amusement >>FYI- For Your Information >>GG- Good Game >>GTG- Got To Go >>HTH- Hope This Helps >>IBTD- I Beg To Differ >>IDK- I Don't Know >>IMHO- In My Humble Opinion >>IMNSHO- In My Not So Humble Opinion >>IMO- In My Opinion >>IOW- In Other Words >>JK- Just Kidding >>KK- Okay >>LFG- Looking For Group >>LMAO- Laughing My Butt Off >>LOL- Laughing Out Loud >>NP- No Problem/ You're Welcome >>OMG- Oh My Gosh >>PLZ- Please >>QFT- Quoted For Truth >>ROFL- Rolling On Floor Laughing >>ROFLMAO- Rolling On Floor Laughing My Butt Off >>THX- Thanks >>TTYL- Talk To You Later >>TX- Thanks >>TY- Thank You >>W/E- Whatever >>WFN- Wrong Forum, N00b >>WTF- What The Heck *[b]Update 1[/b]* >>/B/TARD- Visitor of 4chan's /b/ (random) image room ( [i]Bob Bobinson[/i] ) >>BIC - Brothers In Christ ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>BP - Body Politic ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>BR- Battle Rifle (Or Blade Runner, LOL) ( [i]Will Yashadup[/i] ) >>FTFY- Fixed That For You ( [i]Pro Kendog[/i] ) >>FYP- Fixed Your Post ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>GBTTH3F- Go back to the halo 3 forum ( [i]Bob Bobinson[/i] ) >>GT- Gamertag >>GTFO- Get The Freak Out ( [i]RifleMan Joe[/i] ) >>H3F- Halo 3 Forum ( [i]BadBall3r47[/i] ) >>ITT- In This Thread ( [i] x Foman123 x[/i] ) >>KTHNXBAI- Ok, Thanks, Bye ( [i]TheScriptKeeper[/i] ) >>LAWL- Laughing A Whole Lot >>MM- MatchMaking ( [i]Will Yashadup[/i] ) >>MOAP - Mob Of Angry Peasants ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>NF - New Flood ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>OP- Original Poster ( [i]spartan11bungie[/i] ) >>OS- Over Shield ( [i]Will Yashadup[/i] ) >>OT- Off Topic ( [i]BadBall3r47[/i] ) >>POPO- Forum Cop ( [i]Bob Bobinson[/i] ) >>TBC - The Black Chapter ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>TD- Team Doubles ( [i]Will Yashadup[/i] ) >>TFM - The Frozen Minority ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>TO, DNW- Too Old, Do Not Want ( [i]Bob Bobinson[/i] ) >>TS- Team Slayer ( [i]Will Yashadup[/i] ) >>TWSS- That's What She Said ( [i]PKF_647[/i] ) >>Tl:DR- Too Long; Didn't Read/ Too Lazy; Didn't Read ( [i]TheScriptKeeper[i] ) >>V2 - Flood V2 ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) >>YANW - You Are Not Welcome ( [i]Primum Agmen[/i] ) *[b]Update 2[/b]* >>FML- Freak My Life ( [i]Halcylon[/i] ) >>H3ITWP- Halo 3 In The Workplace ( [i]Rhymetactics[/i] ) >>HFCS- High Fructose Corn Syrup ( real meaning isn't known ) ( [i]Eliper[/i] ) *[b]Update 3[/b]* >>ATM- At The Moment ( BurtonBoarding ) >>B5D- Facility B5D ( BurtonBoarding ) >>BBL- Be Back Later ( slayerspiddey ) >>BTY- Better Than You >>BWO - Black Water Ops ( BurtonBoarding ) >>DL- Download ( The EAKLE ) >>DLC- Downloaded Content ( T1B3R7uMB0YXVI ) >>HC - Halo Charts ( BurtonBoarding ) >>HFCS- Hideout For Chris and Stosh ( T1B3R7uMB0YXVI ) >>IIRC- If I Remember Correctly ( Iggyhopper ) >>J/P- Just Playin ( BurtonBoarding ) >>LOLBNR- Laughing Out Loud But Not Really ( chris kassabian ) >>MMP- Mythic Map Pack ( chris kassabian ) >>MPP- My Pretty Pony ( chris kassabian ) >>NM- Nevermind ( BurtonBoarding ) >>O4B- ODST 4th Battalion >>OTK- Owners Of The Katana ( walshypru ) >>OWBYD- I Would've Been You Daddy >>QFTAR- Quoted For Truth And Reconciliation ( walshypru ) >>R7 - Real 7alk ( BurtonBoarding ) >>SIP- Spartan 1 Project ( psufan 1993 ) >>SOZ- Sorry ( chris kassabian ) >>SSO- Spartan Special Ops ( chris kassabian ) >>T7 - The 7th Wonder ( BurtonBoarding ) >>TGP - The General Public ( BurtonBoarding ) >>TTYS- Talk To You Soon ( T1B3R7uMB0YXVI ) *[b]Update 4[/b]* >>ZLG- Zombie League Gaming [Edited on 06.25.2009 8:09 PM PDT]

  • So are you listing all the abbreviations new users should never use? Seriously people, type it out, this isn't aim or myspace, don't be -blam!-. You'll be taken more seriously.

  • OMGWTFBBQ! But seriously I don't like abbreviations like this, I guess OT and H3F are alright but some of the ones you have listed are just ridiculous and if I ever encountered them in a post I wouldn't know what the hell they are talking about.

You'll be taken more seriously.[/quote]bad usage of Grammar =/= acronyms. You can use all the acronyms you want and still be smart, however, typing out words like "b" instead of "be" is really stupid where you have a full keyboard. Anywhere else (phone, limited keys) isn't totally pointless. Also, some of these are shortening of words, so that part of the list can go die (lol). I haven't read the whole list yet.

  • Not everyone is as proficient in the engrish language as we. Which is why us have topics like them these one here.

  • I've only ever seen like, 2 of those. And I was hoping on a Bnet-specific abbreviation list. This just looks like it was copied from [url=http://www.gaarde.org/Acronyms/]here[/url].

Yes there are many abbreviations never used, but there are many words in a normal dictionary that are listed that are never used. Remember, its an abbreviation dictionary. 3. Doth I hear complaining? what did i say at the top of the post again? 4. If there is so many bungie.net specific abbreviations you have in mind, can't you spell them out and suggest them to me, like everyone else? Your suggestions would be welcome. : ) [Edited on 06.10.2009 10:51 AM PDT]
