Internet Slangs and Acronyms


By on Saturday, December 28, 2013

Internet slang consists of slang and acronyms that users have created as an effort to save keystrokes. Terms have originated from various sources including Bulletin Boards, AIM, Yahoo, IRC, Chat Rooms, Email, Cell Phone Text Messaging, and some even as far back as World War II. Tired of all those internet slangs and acronyms you see everywhere. With people writing in SMS lingo, IM lingo and what not, its impossible to keep track of all these words.  Are you searching for a specific word, are you parent of a teenager or just curious to try and learn these words. We have tried to help out here by providing a list of these slangs and Acronyms. IAC (In Any Case), HTH (Hope this helps)!!!
